Bhagavad Gita Ch. 3 v. 33 - 38, Our Nature Our Dharma: In this Bhagavad Gītā Satsaṅga, Sri Krishna discusses the relationship between our own unique nature or makeup and our own personal path which is none other than our own dharma or what is referred to as our svadharma.

Better death in one’s own dharma; another’s dharma is full of fear”  – Bh.G. 3.35   Our own Dharma is determined according to our own unique makeup. When we are on the right path - for ourselves - then even if we experience challenge after challenge after challenge, we feel committed to it. When we get confused thinking the grass is greener on the other side, and deviate from fulfilling the purpose of our nature, then we easily become distraught by challenges. Even simple challenges will rattle us. We may even invent our own dramas simply because there is a disharmony between the path we are on and what truly suits our nature. This is what is meant by saying that “another’s dharma is full of fear.”
