A. From the spiritual perspective
A dictum in Dharma says, ‘He who sees with open eyes the destruction of Dharma becomes great sinner, while he who strives to protect Dharma, becomes deserving of Mukti (Liberation)’.
He who protects Dharma, is protected by Dharma (God).
The God who dwells in us is the same as one who dwells in our Dharma-brethren. Will God who dwells in us be ever pleased with us when on the one hand we try to please Him with our Dharmacharan (Abiding by Dharma) and sadhana (Spiritual practice), while on the other hand we remain insensitive to the attacks on brethren belonging to our Dharma ?
It is utmost important to perform every activity as per kal (Time). Protecting Dharma is abidance of Dharma that has become necessary as per the The Guru Principle too teaches us appropriate abidance by Dharma as required by kal. Devotee Arjun became dearer to Shri Krishna because he fought kauravas for protecting Dharma. In short, when we are active for protecting Dharma, we are graced by God.
B. From the perspective of national interest
Sanatan Dharma and only Sanatan Dharma is the very life of Bharat. The end of Sanatan Dharma will mark the end of Bharat. Thereafter, any amount of politics or social reforms or even pouring the entire wealth of Deity Kuber (Treasurer of Deities) on each and every child of this country will prove to be futile.
