Bhagavad Gita 3.24
उत्सीदेयुरिमे लोका न कुर्यां कर्म चेदहम्। सङ्करस्य च कर्ता स्यामुपहन्यामिमाः प्रजाः॥
utsīdeyur ime lokā na kuryāṁ karma ched aham sankarasya cha kartā syām upahanyām imāḥ prajāḥ
Translation
These worlds would fall into ruin, if I did not perform action; I should be the author of confusion of castes, and should destroy these creatures.
What it means
Were I not to act, these worlds would fall into ruin. Order is upheld by unceasing work, even divine work. Maintenance is not beneath greatness; it is greatness.
Try this today
Responsibility scales with position: the greater the example, the greater the cost of neglect.
Something to reflect on
Does my sense of importance excuse me from maintenance, or oblige me to it?
