Gita reflection Ch 18 verses 45 & 46

17th December 2024


When we examine our bodies, we notice that each organ plays a specific role in ensuring the entire body functions efficiently. None of the organs compete with one another; instead, they complement and support each other.

Similarly, the four societal classes should engage in their designated roles effectively for both individual and collective success. 

If one class fails to fulfill its responsibilities, the efficiency of the entire society or organization is compromised.

True success for an individual lies in aligning personal goals with collective ones. Just as the hand that picks up food to eat does so not just for itself but for the nourishment and well-being of the entire body, a person achieves success by fulfilling the duties in a way that honors the One from whom all creatures are born and by whom everything, including oneself, is permeated.
