Dharma, means once noble duty that is to be done with the highest degree of devotion.
There are many sayings:-
1) Ahimsa (non-violence) is the highest dharma,
2) Satya (Truth) is the highest dharma,
and so on...
But it's not any particular thing, it's a set of duties, that makes ones life meaningful and noble.

Everyone wants to be happy and no one wants to suffer, but very few people understand the real causes of happiness and suffering. We tend to look for happiness outside ourself, thinking that if we had the right house, the right car, the right job, and the right friends we would be truly happy. We spend almost all our time adjusting the external world, trying to make it conform to our wishes. All our life we have tried to surround ourself with people and things that make us feel comfortable, secure, or stimulated, yet still we have not found pure and lasting happiness.
It is time we sought happiness from a different source. Happiness is a state of mind, so the real source of happiness must lie within the mind, not in external conditions. If our mind is pure and peaceful we shall be happy, regardless of our external circumstances, but if it is impure and unpeaceful we can never be truly happy, no matter how hard we try to change our external conditions. We could change our home or our partner countless times, but until we change our restless, discontented mind we shall never find true happiness.

dharma is a very wide concept..according to indian philosophy ,in simple context means following the way to reach God.it is in simple words the activity which does not harm anybody and the decision of doing actvity has to be according to the circumstances and your own understanding of the situation.sometimes it is a duty which has to be performed wholeheartedly
this is just my pesonal understanding of dharma.
