In Simple Terms
Your personal duty — what is yours to do, given who you are.
Overview
Your personal dharma — the duty specific to your nature, stage of life, and social role. Better to perform your own dharma imperfectly than another's perfectly.
Why It Matters
Svadharma ends the confusion of comparing yourself to others. Your path is uniquely yours.
