Chapter-3
Karmayoga
24. These worlds will be ruined if I did not perform action, I should be the agent of mixture of castes and destroy these creatures. If I remain desireless and absorbed in myself, how will the people go about their business? If the people were to follow the path of wisdom and act accordingly, the affairs of the world will come to a stop. Hence even he who is capable and all-wise should not abandon action at any cost. 25. As the ignorant attached to action work, O Bharata, so the wise should work without attachment, desiring the welfare of the world. Just as a person with desire performs action keeping in view its fruit, the desireless person should also devote himself to work in the same way. So Arjuna, I have been telling you repeatedly that the society has to be protected by all means (166-170). The wise man should follow the path of action and carry the people with him and should not let others think him different from them. |
