- Karṇa is the repository of all good deeds and it is his good deeds that stand in the way of his own Enlightenment.

Till now everyone blames Bhagavan Sri Krishna for this Kurukshetra war but that's the greatest sacrifice Bhagavan Sri Krishna did to save the planet Earth. If Kurukshetra was not conducted at that time under the controlled conditions and direct supervision of Bhagavan Sri Krishna, planet Earth would not have survived more than three years.

Bhagavad Gītā appears in the heart of Mahābhārat in Bhīṣma Parva, the sixth chapter of its eighteen chapters. Veda Vyāsa, the narrator, in glorifying the Gītā sings, 'the one who drinks the water of Ganges (the sacred river for Hindus) attains liberation, what to speak of the one who drinks the nectar of Gītā?
Gītā is the essential nectar of the Mahābhārat, bhāratamṛta sarvasvam as it is directly spoken by Nārāyaṇa, Bhagavān kṛṣṇa Himself.'
The armies assembled in the vast field of Kurukṣetra, now in the state of Haryana in modern day Bharat. All the kings and princes were related to one another, and were often on opposite sides. Facing the Kaurava army and his friends, relatives and teachers, Arjuna was overcome by remorse and guilt, and wanted to walk away from the battle out of total powerlessness unbecoming an invincible warrior among warriors.
Śrī Kṛṣṇa's dialogue with Arjuna on the battlefield of Kurukṣetra out of His utmost concern and love for him and humanity is the content of Bhagavad Gītā. Of its seven hundred and forty-five (745) verses, Bhagavān Śrī Kṛṣṇa sings the Gītā in six hundred and twenty (620) verses responding to Arjuna's fifty-seven (57) enquiries.
Śrī Kṛṣṇa persuades Arjuna to give-up his powerlessness unfitting an Ārya—the spiritually evolved one who understands human life and urges him to raise himself again as Parantapa—the conqueror of enemy, and take up arms and vanquish his enemies. They are already dead,' says Śrī Kṛṣṇa, 'All those who are facing you have been already killed by Me. Go ahead and do what you have to do. That is your responsibility. Do not worry about the outcome. Leave that to Me.'
yad yad ācarati śreṣṭhas tat tad evetaro janaḥ sa yatpramāṇaṁ kurute lokastadanuvartate
Whatever action is performed by a great person, others follow. They follow the example set by him
The state of a leader is born from the principle of responsibility that enriches people to become responsible
na me pārthāsti kartavyaṁ triṣu lokeṣu kiñcana nānavāptamavāptavyaṁ varta eva ca karmaṇi
O Pārtha, there is nothing that I must do in the three worlds. Neither am I in want of anything nor do I have anything to gain. Yet, I am always in action
Kṛṣṇa owns responsibility, the space of leadership consciousness, Īśvaratva yadi hyahaṁ na varteyaṁ jātu karmaṇyatandritaḥ mama vartmānuvartante manuṣyāḥ pārtha sarvaśaḥ
If I did not engage in work with care, O Pārtha, certainly, people would follow My path in all respects
Take responsibility for bringing authenticity into every action. Only by example can you cause others' reality and radiate the truths powerfully.
utsīdeyurime lokā na kuryāṁ karma cedaham sakarasya ca kartā syāmupahanyāmimāḥ prajāḥ
If I do not work, then these worlds would be ruined. I would be the cause of creating confusion and destruction
People's anyakāra, the expectation that world has from Kṛṣṇa is that He is God, He is Bhagavān. He is now responsible to fulfill even others' image about Him for leading them on the correct path.
saktāḥ karmaṇyavidvāṁso yathā kurvanti bhārata kuryādvidvāṁstathāsaktaś cikīrṣurlokasaṁgraham
As the ignorant do their work with attachment to the results, O Bhārata, the wise do so without attachment, for the enrichment (welfare) of people
The Master is one who is in the eternal space of Īśvaratva, leadership consciousness and is in the ultimate experience of Enlightenment. Out of compassion, He enriches by showing the path of responsibility to reach His state to all
Here, Kṛṣṇa talks about the practical aspects of why a leader needs to act in a responsible manner. There is a difference between the state of a leader and the status of a leader.
- Most of us want to attain the status of a leader but not the state. When you achieve the status of the leader, it is ego-fulfilling and you feel great. Some politicians are good examples for this.
They exert the power of their position on others without even feeling responsible. They were a little more dominating and convincing than the people whom they were trying to dominate, that's all.
The state of the leader is something totally different. It is the state of the leader born from the principle of responsibility that enriches people to become responsible.
A leader with the status remains only as a slave. A leader with the state takes the responsibility to create more and more responsible leaders. Only when you express all the possibilities out of liberation cognition, are you living your life. Life is lived when jīvanmukta saṁbhāvana, the space of possibility, the space of leadership becomes your lifestyle.
Nothing else is required for you to be a leader; just leadership consciousness is enough. When Vivekananda walked the length and breadth of Bharat, he did not have anything other than leadership consciousness in his life. But wherever he went, kings washed his feet, gave their own thrones for him to sit on, received his blessings and guidance, and requested his spiritual support.
It is responsibility that makes you realize all possibilities. It is leadership consciousness that brings not just success, but fulfillment in you.
When you do not carry the consciousness of a leader, even if you get the powers of the leader, you are bound by it and you also bind the people who accept you as leader and follow you.
Leadership consciousness is an independent intelligence; it cannot be hidden from others. Once you have it, the whole world will know that you have it; the world simply listens to you! You do not need any power, political strength or infrastructure for the world to know that you are a leader. Even if you walk on the street, you will stand tall. And the world will respect you!
I am talking from the context of being responsible for making you responsible. Be very clear, the person who talks has only one reason — making you responsible. I am responsible to make you experience responsibility as I have experienced it. A person with wealth is responsible to guide a poor man to wealth.
A person with knowledge is responsible to make ignorant people knowledgeable! When you own, you become responsible to make everyone own. Because I own responsibility, I own the responsibility of making everyone own responsibility. Kṛṣṇa, who owns responsibility, the space of leadership consciousness, Īśvaratva, is making Arjuna own responsibility.

Plan for success! Don't plan for failure. Right when you start planning, if you wonder 'If this fails what do I do?', you immediately think, 'I will hold him responsible!' But holding the other responsible is not going to bring you success. Even as the thought — 'I will hold him responsible' arises, cut it.
