people. According to the doctrine of Karmayoga as described in Geeta, no one is owner or owned, a capitalist or a labourer, a master or a slave, superior or inferior, rich or poor; all are equal and have to contribute to the good of the Society. This is the real kingdom where the Almighty dwells and under whose leadership the crisis is
Building a perfect personality
The BG analyses the source and basis of human action. Action by itself is neutral. Therefore, the BG shows the way to train mind to achieve perfection and excellence in action. It deals with the development of an individual as an integrated personality. It is the will or the motive behind the action which makes it good or bad or indifferent. The BG is the perfect guide to those who aspire to build a perfect personality, a potent of which includes the harmonious development of the head, the heart and the hand. That is why a person endowed with a clear head, a loving heart and an efficient hand, than nothing more remains to be added to ones personality. This perfect personality will help remove the cultural crisis.
Samatva-a base of life
According to Kṛṣṇa Samatva is the basis of life. Samatva means equality. Samatva is a process of evolution and so also it is the explanation of creation. Samatva connotes the most concrete quality of equability. Samatva is both subjective and objective. It is almost a prefix connoting the equiness in all phases of life; i.e. Samatva of mind, of ends and means, of purpose, of action and of all things man undertakes. It is this message that has a direct bearing on the present day conflict, confusion, tension and so on. It is only through this Samatva that we can hope to establish and attain to enduring peace in the world. Therefore, there is a scriptural sanction for taking the Geeta not as a more advice to Arjuna but an object lesson to all humanity through out eternity.
Karma for serving humanity
That is why a person must perform his duty honestly and sincerely and only through that one can attain ones destination i.e. KARMA. Karma means deed, duty, work, etc., which is not prohibited or warded off, which is not harmful or which is not done with harmful attitude, which is performed to worship Lord and to serve the humanity. Therefore, every man ought to do his duty compulsorily. No body is expected to give up his duties. Thus it teaches to follow the path of nonattachment:
कर्मण्येवाधिकारस्ते मा फलेषु कदाचन । मा कर्मफलहेतुर्भूर्मा ते सांगोऽस्त्वकर्मणि ॥
(Geets 2/47). Do perform your action proficiently.
