Swamirara ‘Karmanye Vadhikaraste’ Means What - Google Docs | Page 4
The above sloka/verse was a message given by Lord Krishna to Arjuna during the war
time of the Mahabharata. Arjuna denies to fight against his opponents, who are none
other than his relatives like uncles, cousins and other beloved ones being under the
impression says to Lord Krishna that what will I get by killing my own relatives, just a
piece of land, I will not commit a sin by killing them. Instead of killing them Arjuna
prefers him to be killed by them in the war. At this moment, Lord Krishna delivers this
message (i.e., the above sloka) to warrior Arjuna making him know what is his duty:
Lord Krishna says to Arjuna that your duty is to fight in the war and you have to fight. No
matter whether you win or lose, but you have to fight to fulfill your duty. You don't worry
about the end result of the war, just perform your duty well and leave the rest to
almighty. Even if you are killed and die in the war, you will go to heaven because you
have performed your duty well.
