Srimad Bhagavat Gita commentary chapter 3 verse 24


Chapter 3 verse 24

“These worlds would perish, if I did not perform action; I would be the author of confusion of castes and would destroy these beings”

A few key takeaways from this verse are to be noted.     
  • God takes care of the Universe and not just earth: He talks about “loka” here not "Bhoomi" which is Sanskrit for earth. He needs to act for Universe to exist!
  • Each person is ordained to do some duty which he/she is already performing with each instant deciding out of his/her own free will what to do. (within the construct of laws of karma)
  • When both these actions of individuals and orchestration of Universe by divine (according to the Laws of Karma) ceases to happen, the Universe will be destroyed and all the beings with it
