Gita reflection Ch 18 verses 41 & 42

15th December 2024


The division of labor is essential for completing any significant task that involves many people within an organization or society. Each individual contributes their knowledge and skills to achieve a common goal.

Lord Krishna previously noted that he intentionally organized society into four distinct groups based on their qualities of thought and action: priests, warriors, traders, and the labor class. Each group has specific responsibilities.

Among these four categories, the priests possess the natural quality of Sattva. They should focus on training both their internal and external faculties, practice austerity, maintain purity, cultivate forgiveness, adhere faithfully to scriptures, and act with integrity in all matters.

Since their primary role involves religious and spiritual activities, the integrity, honesty, and selfless nature of the priests are highly respected and valued within society.
