Srimad Bhagavat Gita commentary chapter 3 verse 20


Chapter 3 verse 20

“Janaka and others attained perfection verily through action only; even with a view to protecting the masses you should perform action”

King Janaka has been quoted by our Ithihaas (history) as someone who was a self realized emperor. It is a great example for society to encourage action without attachment since which is a better example than an emperor who has to act every moment to take care of his kingdom without any attachment to the result of the action. Krishna is reiterating the point of doing action as a sacrifice to benefit the world at large made by him in an earlier verse again to say that one should do righteous action or cling on to dharma (that which protects) for world’s sake.
