यदि ह्यहं न वर्तेयं जातु कर्मण्यतन्द्रितः। मम वर्त्मानुवर्तन्ते मनुष्याः पार्थ सर्वशः॥
yadi hy aham na varteyam jatu karmany atandritah mama vartmanuvartante manushyah partha sarvashah
Translation
For if I did not ceaselessly engage in action, O Partha, people would follow my path in every way.
Commentary
If Krishna stopped acting, people who follow his example would also stop acting, leading to chaos. This teaches that those in positions of influence have a special responsibility to model right action.
