Srimad Bhagavat Gita commentary chapter 3 verse 22


Chapter 3 verse 22

“There is nothing in the three worlds, that has to be done by Me, nor is there anything unattainable that should be attained by Me, yet, I engage myself in action”

Even avatars of God principle have a purpose for taking the avatar- “yada yada hi dharmasya…”. Krishna’s purpose was to restore dharma (righteous action) back in the world. He couldn’t have accomplished that task without action. The purpose of avatars in human form is to also set an example that even the God principle has to follow the laws of karma set in motion by the divine. Don’t they say-great leaders are great followers first. Krishna never used his divinity for his own welfare in his life. His actions were always for the greater good for society. It might be better for us to not even consider him God principle but consider lessons from his life as a mere human being and learn how he lived the life of a “Sthitha Prajna”. Profound lessons from the master of all masters!
