Origin & History
Source: Bhagavad Gita Chapter 3, Verse 21
Author: Veda Vyasa (Lord Krishna's teaching)
In the third chapter of the Bhagavad Gita, the Karma Yoga, Lord Krishna urges Arjuna to act for the welfare of the world (lokasangraha). To show why even the enlightened should keep performing their duties, he points out in this verse that common people follow the example of great persons — whatever standard a leader sets, the world adopts as its own.
