(श्लोक 23–24) हे पार्थ ! अगर मैं किसी समय सावधान होकर कर्तव्य-कर्म न करूँ (तो बड़ी हानि हो जाय; क्योंकि) मनुष्य सब प्रकारसे मेरे ही मार्गका अनुसरण करते हैं। यदि मैं कर्म न करूँ, तो ये सब मनुष्य नष्ट-भ्रष्ट हो जायँ और मैं वर्णसंकरताको करनेवाला तथा इस समस्त प्रजाको नष्ट करनेवाला बनूँ।

(श्लोक 23–24) हे पार्थ ! अगर मैं किसी समय सावधान होकर कर्तव्य-कर्म न करूँ (तो बड़ी हानि हो जाय; क्योंकि) मनुष्य सब प्रकारसे मेरे ही मार्गका अनुसरण करते हैं। आदत और परिणाम एक चक्र बनाते हैं: जो बार-बार किया जाता है, वह अगली प्रवृत्ति को मजबूत करता है। यह पंक्ति कर्म को उसी चक्र के रूप में देखती है, भाग्य के आकस्मिक प्रहार के रूप में नहीं।
A modern parallel offered for reflection. It is not part of the scripture, and it has not been checked against the original sources it may allude to.
