"Whenever dharma declines and adharma predominates, I incarnate as an avatar. In visible form I appear from age to age to protect the virtuous and to destroy evildoing in order to reestablish righteousness." - Bhagavad Gita
(Adharma is the Sanskrit antonym of dharma. It means "that which is not in accord with the dharma". Connotations include betrayal, discord, disharmony, unnaturalness, wrongness, evil, immorality, unrighteousness, wickedness, and vice)
"Each thought of depression or happiness, irritability or calmness, cuts subtle grooves in the brain cells and strengthens the tendencies toward sickness or well-being." - Paramahansa Yogananda

There is no clear definition of Dharma. The closest is the order of the world. The order of the world is what it is. Other way of saying it it is not under our control, it is what it is. Krishna said he will re-establish dharma, and that may involve destroying the world as we know it and create a new one, as he has done from age to age.

Good to see your post in the forum, CB. I wondered if you had deserted us.
Dharma means right behavior in this context. Something like the Ten Commandments or truth in Buddhism or social order. "I" in my quote is not Krishna speaking, but God.

The quote from the Gita is Krishna speaking to Arjuna. Krishna could be God, who knows.
"Though God has everything, we can still say that He has some desire: He wants to see who will remain unintimidated by this picture, and who will play his part well and come back to Him. You can't run away from this universe, but if you act in this play with your thought fixed on God, you will be free." Paramahansa Yogananda (in 1946, in San Diego)
