Chapter 3 verse 21
“Whatever a great man does, that
other men also imitate; whatever he sets up as the standard, which the world
follows”
Krishna shines light on great
men. Great men are those who show dexterity in action without losing energy on
worrying about a particular result. Their actions are going to be always in the
greater good. Doing such actions, they are able to set a great example for
others to follow. All our avatars, Gods of major religions, inspirational world
leaders such as Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr, renowned saints- all
fall into this category. I have always wondered if this fame after their lives
matter to these individuals after their lifetime. A good answer to that
question would be that by doing actions for greater good, they progress
exponentially towards Moksha (Enlightenment) if not already there. What else could be a greater
reward? How we wish our world leaders of today would have these exacting
standards?
