Premanand Maharaj Ji
Why is the path of dharma so difficult while adharma feels easy?
Dharma means climbing, adharma is a slide
Going down is easy and climbing is hard, so people drift onto the path of adharma. A dharmic person walks on through the hardships and does not leave dharma.
Dharma means holding firm: whether I get sorrow or joy, blame, insult or praise, in any situation I will not budge from dharma.
