Srimad Bhagavat Gita commentary chapter 16 verse 24

 Chapter 16 verse 24 

“Therefore, let the scriptures be your authority in determining what should be done and what should not be done. Understand the scriptural injunctions and teachings, and then perform your actions in this world accordingly.” 

In this chapter, Bhagwan differentiated between pure traits and demonic traits and illustrated what eventually leads to enlightenment of the soul. The question might arise as to what or who is the authority of determining what is right and wrong action? The answer is provided by Bhagwan Himself. All action based on scriptural authority and dictum- in this case the Vedas are daivic in nature and everything else in demonic natured. The greatest of sanatana dharma Gurus have never strayed away from scriptural teachings. Let us take inspiration from our ancient sages and elders and tread the path of righteous.
