Krishna describes how leaders set standards through their actions. By acting with integrity, leaders influence others positively, guiding society toward virtue and stability, thus underscoring the importance of leading by example.

Krishna clarifies that, despite his supreme position, he performs duties to set an example. This exemplifies selfless leadership, where even the divine follows dharma to demonstrate the ideal of responsibility and adherence to duty.

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.

Krishna encourages the wise to act selflessly to inspire the unwise. By fulfilling duties without attachment, knowledgeable people can guide others, showing that meaningful action comes from inner freedom, not compulsion.

Krishna advises against disrupting the ignorant, urging the wise to lead by example instead. Through compassionate guidance, the knowledgeable should help others progress rather than criticize their attachment to action.

Krishna teaches that actions arise from nature’s qualities, but ignorance makes people believe they are the true agents. This notion challenges Arjuna to understand the role of nature in shaping actions, reducing personal ego.
