The essence of the text 'ᴅʜᴀʀᴍᴀ ᴋɪ ᴀᴀᴅ ' is an essay, In this text, the author has taken a dig at those who prove their selfishness by fighting people in the name of religion.  The author believes that at this time there is a boom of religion in the country.  In the name of religion and faith are generated.  Ramua Pasi and Mian are ready to die in their name, whether known or not, the reality of religion and faith.  This is the condition of

the cities of the country.  Without understanding anything, the common man starts furious at the signs of some selfish elements.  This gives leadership to those selfish people.  They prove their selfishness.  The common man does not know the elements of religion.  He only thinks that it is right to give up his life to protect religion and faith.  The clever selfish people take advantage of this and provoke them. 

Communism, Bolshovism, etc. were born due to the struggle of rich and poor in Western countries.  There is no such situation in our country but in the name of religion, the power of crores of people is being misused and some selfish people are taking advantage of it.  Such fights will continue to increase in India as long as there is no effort with courage and perseverance to stop this fierce trade in the name of religion and faith.  The author is of the view that every person in the country should be free to worship his religion in his own way.  Religion and faith should be the deal of the mind, the relationship between God and the soul, the means to purify and elevate the soul.  It should not harm the liberty of any other person.  There should be no conflict between the followers of two different religions.  If someone does such an act, then his work should be considered against the independence of the country.  In the days of freedom struggle, the author has considered that day as the worst day when clerics and Dharmacharyas were given place in the freedom movement.  As a result, people like Maulana Abdul Bari and Shankaracharya had established a state of religious madness, prapancha and uttap in the country.  Mahatma Gandhi has given importance to religion everywhere.  According to him, religion meant high and liberal ideas.  Instead of giving voice, ringing conch, they considered purity and virtue as religion.  The author also does not consider it appropriate to practice dishonesty throughout the day after reciting the Namaz for five times or worshiping for two hours.  He emphasizes on improving behavior.  From such hypocritical religious and humble persons, he considers those atheists as good and high, whose conduct is good, who takes care of the happiness and sorrow of others, and considers it wrong to create violence in the name of religion.  God also loves such atheists who revere humanity and renounce animalism.

  

When watching after yourself, you watch after others. When watching after others, you watch after yourself.

The exact meaning of ambiguity is a situation in which a person has to choose between two equally unpleasant and unwanted alternatives. It is like to be between the horns of a wild bison the horn on the either sides is going to give pain. There is no escape route. A moral ambiguity is such a worst position that if one takes courage and chooses someone or something, he will definitely suffer. In such a sticky situation it is hard to decide with our limited intellect. Hence to get out of the dilemma on the morally correct course of action one needs to have the grace of the all pervading Absolute. 

Arjuna has this moral ambiguity at the start of the war. He was so disturbed that he forgot the Kshatriya Dharma and he had to be brought back to sense by none other than Lord Krishna. Lord Krishna motivated not only Arjuna but the entire human race. Sometimes due to effect of emotions we see Dharma as Adharma and viceversa. This happens to every individual at some point of time in their life span.
