CHAPTER 3
Urging The Enemy’s Destruction

तस्मादसक्त: सततं कार्यं कर्म समाचार।
असक्तो ह्राचरन्कर्म परमाप्नोति पूरुष:॥19॥

[ “So always do what is right for you to do in the spirit of selflessness, for in doing his duty the selfless man attains to God.” ]

In order to achieve this state, Arjun ought to be disinterested and do well what is fit for him to do, for a selfless man realizes God only through selfless action. The action which is worthy of doing is the same as the ordained action. So to inspire Arjun to ordained action, Krishn further adds:

कर्मणैव हि संसिद्धिमास्थिता जनकादय:।
लोकसंग्रहमेवापि संपश्यन्कर्तुमर्हसि॥20॥

[ “Since sages such as Janak had also attained to the ultimate realization by action, and keeping in mind, the preservation of the (God made) order, it is incumbent upon you to act.’’ ]
