But, just as in the earlier ages there were also many believers who practiced the repetition of mantra , evoking the name of God, so also, in this age there are people who take to meditation, there are people who take to doing penance and there are people who take to ritual worship. But the principal practices depend upon the general character and mood of the times. Different practices give different forms, so to speak, to dharma . But the inner flow of dharma is always the same. Truth will never change.
Truth is always one, never two.
In all the three times, past, present and future, in all the three worlds, earth, heaven and the nether world, in all the three states, waking, dream and deep sleep, and in all the three worldly qualities, passivity, activity and equilibrium, truth is always one. Since truth is one and the very basis of dharma , dharma cannot change. It never wavers or undergoes any modifications. But duty and practice will undergo intermittent change. For example, take a person who is doing a job.
