“
What the great man doth, lesser men will do; the standard he createth, all men follow
KrishnaBhagavad Gita · Chapter 33.21

Karma Yoga
Path of Action · Chapter 3 of 18
Arjuna asks: if knowledge is superior to action, why urge me to fight? Krishna responds that action is inescapable. Even he, who has nothing to gain, continues to act — because if the great cease to act, the world falls into chaos.
Why This Matters
Krishna’s argument for why even the enlightened must act — their example sets the standard for all humanity.
