Wikipedia: Dharma for all human beings
Srimad BhAgavatha talks about Dharma or ethical principles for all human beings before it talks about Dharma for individual
VarNas. Srimad BhAgavatha talks in much more detail and has lot more principles of Dharma that should be followed by all human beings.
The fact that Srimad BhAgavatha gives more emphasis on the common dhArmic principles for all human beings compared to dharmic principles for different varNas shows that, common dhArmic principles that binds all human beings are lot more important than the dhArmic principles that specific classes of human beings should follow.
All these dhArmic principles are universal principles that apply to all human beings not just to Hindus. These dhArmic principles set a very high bar for ethical behavior for all human beings. Everybody can check how much they are following these principles. One can gauge how much they have progressed by measuring themselves against these dharminc principles. These principles have to be fully followed if one is interested in spiritual growth.
