Bhagavad Gita 3.23
यदि ह्यहं न वर्तेयं जातु कर्मण्यतन्द्रितः। मम वर्त्मानुवर्तन्ते मनुष्याः पार्थ सर्वशः॥
yadi hyahaṁ na varteyaṁ jātu karmaṇyatandritaḥ mama vartmānuvartante manuṣhyāḥ pārtha sarvaśhaḥ
Translation
For if I mingled not ever in action unwearied, men all around would follow My path, O son of Prithâ.
What it means
If I did not act unwearied, people everywhere would follow My way. Even the Divine keeps working, because the world copies what it admires. Influence carries obligation.
Try this today
Example compounds: if the highest being idled, idleness would become the world's standard.
Something to reflect on
Who is copying me right now, and what am I teaching them?
