How Can One Understand Words Like Dharma (Justice) and Adharma (Injustice) in the Spiritual Effort?

[Dr. Sheshadri Thiruvenkadam (Balaji) asked] 

Swami replied: In Pravrutti (social behavior), the justice should be voted against the injustice. In the spiritual field or Nivrutti (subject related to God), God should be voted even against the justice because God is the ultimate justice (Paramadharma). Shankara cheated His mother to do the work of God and that was not a sin. He did not cheat her to marry a girl and go away! Ramanuja left His newly married wife for the sake of God and not to marry another girl again! You should not mix Pravrutti and Nivrutti and get confused.
