Dharmo rakshati rakshitah

Dharmo rakshati rakshitah.
Dharma protects those who protect it.

I saw this on a bag from the Giri Trading Company that makes pUja articles etc.

It was recollected when doing pitR tarpaNam today.

The pitRs are more enduring (don't change in one human life) than spouse and family.

The devas are more enduring than the pitRs- don't change over several births. The same devas were there for father, grandfather and so on.

The Siddhas and RShis are more enduring than the devas and so on until Brahma and beyond.

See how pitR tarpaNam as a ritual protects the mind from wandering into temporally changing world.
