Dharmakshetra Kurukshetra

Sri Sadgurubhyoh Namah
The body+mind is called Kshetra. Either we can make it Dharmakshetra by following dharma, or we can make it a Kurukshetra by not following dharma. In sanskrit language the word 'Kuru' notifies 'to do / activity. The activity of and inside 'body+mind' is usually Kurukshetra.
Dharma : The action that comes naturally for us to do is Dharma. Eg: Fire burns, it is the nature of fire to burn. It is dharma of sun to give light. It is the dharma of a child to smile and feel good. The mind has to take a decision every minute for each action towards which action to take. If one looks at a child, the actions of a child is innocent, it doesnt think before acting. What is possible for that moment is done. To act like a child is dharma.
Karma : Any action that we do falls under either good or bad karma. When an action is done following dharma, It leaves no impression in the chittha (the storehouse of memory system) and converts kurukshetra into dharmakshetra.
