My experience with dharma

Our effort is to make our choices choiceless. We all have a choice. A choice to choose an action. We attempt to make a choice that does not hurt another. Our effort is to make our choices, choiceless. Which means, we naturally are aligned with dharma. Dharma means to do what is to be done. What is in harmony with the whole. By advaita we make our choices confirm with dharma, choicelessly. As long we are live with the belief that I am the karta, we must consciously choose wisely not to cause hurt. but we are doubtful, was my action correct, appropriate? we pray to the lord to guide us to make the right actoin.
We can once and for all resolve this doubt in action, by understanding or knowledge, that I am 'akarta'. Which doesnt mean I am not responsible for my action, but means complete opposite. Means every action of mine is a responsible action.
I am akarta holds no meaning, and in fact a dangerous misunderstanding if we have not lived a life of dharma.
Only by living a life of conscious effort to be dharmic 'over and above our artha kaama needs', we can arrive at a point where we are not afraid of owning up to the fact that I am the whole. Through dharma we make the heart grow.And dharma means to do what is to be done. In the approriate manner.
