26.

Dharma is the law that regulates artha, kama, and the fulfilment of the ultimate need of the soul, which is moksha.
Dharma is supreme; there is nothing equal to it anywhere, and dharma is supreme because it is the law of existence.
The law of existence is called dharma.
It is the law of the Absolute, as satya in the terms of the Rigveda. It is rita, the law of the cosmos in the terms of the Rigveda.
It is the law of the government, it is the law of the nation, it is the law of society, it is the law of our family.
It is the law of our individual personality, our physical body, our mind, our intelligence, our understanding, and our logical science.
It is the understanding, and the law of our spirit.

Dharma is everything and anything – the law of the physical body, the law of the vital body, the law of the mental body, the law of understanding, the law of logic, the law of spirit, the law of society, the law of nations, the law of political government, the law of the cosmos, the law of the Absolute, and so everything is determined by it. Justice is abidance by this law.

"Thus, dharma, artha, kama, moksha are blended together beautifully in life. This blend, beautifully brought out in an artistic fashion, is the religion of Bharatavarsha; SANATADHARMAM OTHERWISE CALLED TODAY AS HINDUISM"
