CHAPTER 3 · VERSE 24
Bhagavad Gita 3.24
उत्सीदेयुरिमे लोका न कुर्यां कर्म चेदहम्। सङ्करस्य च कर्ता स्यामुपहन्यामिमाः प्रजाः॥
If I were to cease work, these worlds would fall into ruin, and I would be the cause of social chaos and the destruction of all beings.
Inaction by key figures brings chaos, demonstrating the necessity of responsible engagement.
