Karma Yogah - If I do not engage in action, O Partha, all men would follow My path.
यदि ह्यहं न वर्तेयं जातु कर्मण्यतन्द्रित: |
मम वर्त्मानुवर्तन्ते मनुष्या: पार्थ सर्वश: ||23||

If I do not engage in action, O Partha, all men would follow My path.

  • Vartmānu: Path or course.
  • Sarvaśaḥ: In every way or completely.
  • Partha: Son of Pritha (Arjuna).

If Krishna abstained from action, he explains, others would abandon their duties, leading to societal chaos. His commitment illustrates the importance of maintaining order through consistent effort, even for the enlightened.
