By the truth of one GOD we are set free; free to be Tzadik ( righteous ). Waters of Babylon. -Angelic Outreach version?

"-Tzadik (Hebrew: צדיק‎, "righteous one;" pl. tzadikim) is a title which is generally given to those who are considered to be righteous such as a spiritual master or rebbe. The root of the word tzadik, is tzedek (צדק), which means justice or righteousness. This term thus refers to one who acts righteously.

In Arabic the word/name "saddiq" (صادق), has a similar meaning ...."

"-The Sanskrit term Dharma (Devanāgarī: धर्म) (Pali: Dhamma) is an Indian spiritual or religious term, that means
one's righteous duty, or any virtuous path in the common sense of the term. Contextually, it implies one's religion,
in Indian languages. Throughout Indian philosophy, Dharma is present as a central concept, that is used in order to
explain the "higher truth" or ultimate reality of the universe.

It must be noted however, that the word 'dharma' literally translates as 'that which upholds or supports' (from the
root, Dhr, - to hold), and is generally translated into English as 'law'. But throughout the history of Indian
philosophical context, it has governed ideas about the proper conduct of living that are upheld by the laws of the
universe. The symbol of the dharma - the wheel - is the central motif in the national flag of India.

The various Indian religions (sanatana dharma, Buddhadharma, Jain dharma, Sikh Dharma etc.) have all accorded a
central focus to Dharma and advocate its practice. Each of these religions emphasize Dharma as the correct
understanding of Nature (or God, as the origin of nature) in their teachings. In these traditions, beings
that live in accordance with Dharma proceed more quickly toward Dharma Yukam, Moksha or Nirvana (personal liberation).
Dharma also refers to the teachings and doctrines of the founders of these traditions, such as those of Gautama Buddha
and Mahavira. In traditional Hindu society with its caste structure, Dharma constituted the religious and moral doctrine
of the rights and duties of each individual. Dharma in its universal meaning shares much in common with the way of Tao
or Taoism."

The Living Dharma is about the compassion that naturally arises in us when we
reflect deeply on what it means to be a human being.
