Swa-dharma
is the prescribed duties based upon our
guṇas
and station in life. Performing them ensures that we use the potential abilities of our body and mind in a constructive and beneficial manner. This leads to purification and growth, and is auspicious for the self and society. And since the prescribed duties are in accordance with our innate qualities, we feel comfortable and stable in discharging them. Then, as we enhance our competence, the
swa-dharma
also changes and we step into the next higher class. In this manner, we keep advancing by dutifully executing our responsibilities.
