[nukkad] Daya dharam

[aryaholmes <>]

In Hindu belief system there is a wondrous concept of daya and dharma.

Over the years I have often wondered at the usage and sequence and
exclusion and choice these offer if one were to compute possibilities.

Daya could translate to kindness. By extension this could also mean
a gentler touch in dealing with others, certainly others who are
less privileged, or weak, or sickly, or at a disadvantage in life.

Dharma could mean one's faith, faith in general, a generic application
of the virtues in life.

The question is this. If one had full daya, if one were kind in dealing
with others no matter what the situation, and if one were in a default
in terms of dharma, would this be acceptable?

If there were complete daya, would there be a need of dharma?

On the other hand, and this is a kicker, if one were entirely steeped
in dharma, but had no daya, would that work?
