Chapter 18 verse 48
“One should not abandon duties born of one’s nature, even if one sees defects in them, O son of Kunti. Indeed, all endeavors are veiled by some evil, as fire is by smoke.”
Bhagawan says each of us is born with our inherent tendencies or nature. A person with a lot of passion to lead, win and protect is a natural kshatriya or leader of the current world order. Bhagawan Krishna clarifies that a person does not have the right to pursue a certain trade due to the family or class of birth but due to their inherent nature. Each of our actions need not be perfect but actions still done to exhaust our inherent vasanas or tendencies are better for our spiritual growth vs. going against the grain of our make-up.
