The Yoga of Actionकर्म योग
यद्यदाचरति श्रेष्ठस्तत्तदेवेतरो जनः। स यत्प्रमाणं कुरुते लोकस्तदनुवर्तते॥
yad yad acharati shreshthas tat tad evetaro janah sa yat pramanam kurute lokas tad anuvartate
Whatever a great person does, others follow. Whatever standards they set, the world follows.
Leaders set the moral tone for society. When great people act with integrity, others are inspired to do the same. Arjuna, as a prince and warrior, has a responsibility to set the right example.

धृतराष्ट्र उवाच - धर्मक्षेत्रे कुरुक्षेत्रे समवेता युयुत्सवः। मामकाः पाण्डवाश्चैव किमकुर्वत सञ्जय॥
Dhritarashtra said: O Sanjaya, assembled on the holy field of Kurukshetra, eager to fight, what did my sons and the sons of Pandu do?
सञ्जय उवाच - दृष्ट्वा तु पाण्डवानीकं व्यूढं दुर्योधनस्तदा। आचार्यमुपसङ्गम्य राजा वचनमब्रवीत्॥
Sanjaya said: Seeing the army of the Pandavas arrayed in military formation, King Duryodhana approached his teacher Drona and spoke these words.
पश्यैतां पाण्डुपुत्राणामाचार्य महतीं चमूम्। व्यूढां द्रुपदपुत्रेण तव शिष्येण धीमता॥
Behold, O teacher, this mighty army of the sons of Pandu, arranged in formation by your own talented disciple, the son of Drupada (Dhrishtadyumna).
