Description

Acharya Prashant explains the meaning of the Bhagavad Gita verse regarding one by whom the world is not agitated and who is not agitated by the world. He clarifies that greatness and truth are naturally unmanifest and non-doing, only manifesting when there is a decline in values or an attack on dharma. While figures like Shri Ram and Shri Krishna appeared to cause agitation to figures like Raavan and Kansa, they actually appeared because the world was already in a state of preexisting agitation and fever. Their presence was intended to make the overall agitation subside, leaving the world more peaceful than they found it.
