Dharma is that which holds things together and it is a concept that applies to all the multifarious fields of human thought and activity.

The animal has its happiness in the senses, the human beings in their intellect, and the gods in spiritual contemplation. It is only to the soul that has attained to this contemplative state that the world really becomes beautiful.
