Wikipedia: Who are qualified to give the definition of Dharma

DharmarAja also defines the qualifications for persons who can give a definition of Dharma. He says that nArada is the most

important and beloved son of Brahma. nArada is a supreme practitioner of tapas, yoga and SamAdhi (Complete absorption in the Divine).

 Only kind hearted, pious, ones with tranquil minds like nArada will be able to know the secrets of Dharma. This shows that there are very high qualifications for persons who can define Dharma and ethical practices in a society.
