21. Whatever the pre-eminent man does, that alone others do. Whatever he regards as authority, that people follow. Whatever action the pre-eminent man does, that action alone others, his followers, do, Also, whatever he, the pre-eminent man regards as authority, secular or scriptural, that people follow, that alone they also regard as authority. In case you (still) have any doubt as to this duty to guide .the world, then cannot you observe Me?-
22. For Me, O son of Prthā, there is nothing whatever to do in the three worlds, nor anything unattainedto be got ; yet I engage in action. For Me, O Pārtha, there is nothing whatever to do in the threeworlds even. Why? For there is nothing unattained (by Me) whichhas to be got, acquired (anew). Yet[1], I engage in action. |
