What is the significance of dharma in relation to family and progeny?

Dharma is not about preserving lineage or appeasing the dead; it is a personal, conscious responsibility that calls for authentic action in the here and now.

— Osho
According to Osho, dharma has nothing to do with preserving lineage purity, appeasing ancestors, or fearing ‘varna‑sankara.’ The dead journey on their own; rituals like pind‑daan don’t bind or release them. Priestly fear exploits these myths. Cross‑breeding enriches humanity, not degrades it. Therefore, don’t hide from authentic action behind family/progeny arguments; dharma is a personal, conscious responsibility here‑and‑now.

Dharma isn’t about keeping your family ‘pure’ or pleasing the dead; it’s about you doing the right thing now without fear.
