The entire content of this mail is from Swami Chidbhavananda's translation of The Bhagavad Gita, published by Ramakrishna Mission.
What the spiritual aspirant must do - sloka 19-26
मम वर्त्म अनुवर्तन्ते मनुष्याः पार्थ सर्वशः ।। श्लोक २३
If I ever did not engage in work relentless, O Partha, men would in every respect follow my path.
Staunch adherence to good and devotion to duty are the characteristics of the great. But the ordinary people in society do not usually feel inclined to emulate merits in the eminent. If there be any lapses in them such as idleness, procrastination, and indifference to duty, these are readily caught by the ordinary.They even cite these shortcomings in the great as precedents. Sri Krishna is therefore exemplary in His conduct. In all of his doings he is a model to mankind.
Is there any harm if perchance the Lord deviated from His dharma? The answer is revealed in the next sloka.
