"Karmayoga does not mean ceaseless pursuit of karma. It truly consists in the Yoga orientation and discipline given to the buddhi and the mind. Constant preservation and application of Yogabuddhi while doing any work, alone makes one a Karmayogin."

<< Chapter 3 Verse 21 >>
<   >

यद्यदाचरति श्रेष्ठस्तत्तदेवेतरो जनः ।
स यत्प्रमाणं कुरुते लोकस्तदनुवर्तते ।। ३.२१ ।।

yad-yad-ācarati śreṣṭhas-tat-tad-evetaro janaḥ |
sa yat-pramāṇaṁ kurute lokas-tad-anuvartate || 3.21 ||

  Audio-BG-3.21
 
The world will always be looking for good and noble Souls. Whenever such Knowers are there, they will become an example for others to understand and follow. In the society, not all have the time or taste to think deeply about life and aspire for and achieve great goals. At the same time, there will always be some who are attuned to these higher pursuits and attainments. The ordinary run of mankind is given to the easy path of emulating the great. They are to follow whatever the exemplary men set as standard. Krishna exhorts Arjuna (verse 3.21) that it is necessary to set the example of performance before others.
