Gita reflection Ch 4 verses 7 & 8

 9th April 2024


  • Arjuna knows both karma and dharma. He believes that action is karma and the social and religious traditions that follow it are dharma.
  • However, Lord Krishna has a different perspective on dharma. He believes that dharma is not just a religious act, but an action that can protect all beings and encourage the practice of universal values without fear.
  • Lord Krishna asserts that whenever universal values decline among humans, He will incarnate again and again to uphold them. 
  • A deeper understanding of dharma reveals that it acts as a means to purify the mind for liberation (moksha). 
  • To protect this aspect of dharma and inspire those who aspire to it, the Lord incarnates as divine saints and philosophers time and again.
