Bhagavad Gita Chapter 3, Verse 21 · Veda Vyasa (Lord Krishna's teaching) · Itihasa (Mahabharata)
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.
✦ ਸ਼ਾਸਤਰਾਂ ਵਿੱਚ ਦੱਸੇ ਅਨੁਸਾਰ
It is taught that the actions of the noble ripple outward far beyond themselves — a single life lived with integrity becomes a standard that uplifts countless others, which is why the wise continue to act righteously for the good of the world.
