Swerve not from your Duty - 31-37

1 Gita Sloka every day - Chapter 2 - Samkhya Yoga - Sloka 33

Atha chet tvam imam dharmyam sangramam na karishyasi I

tatah svadharmam kirtimcha hitva papam avapsyasi II sloka 33

अथ चेत त्वं इमं धर्म्यं संग्रामं न करिष्यसि ।

ततः स्वधर्मं किर्तिम्च हित्वा पापं अवाप्स्यसि ।। श्लोक ३३

But if you do not fight this righteous war, you will be turning away from your duty and honoured position, and will be incurring sin.

If in delusion, you do not wage this war, which has started and which is the duty of a Kshatriya, the, owing to the non-performance of your immediate and incumbent duty, you will lose the immeasurable bliss which is the fruit of discharging your duty and the immeasurable fame which is the fruit of victory. In addition, you will incur extreme sin.
