Walking the path of righteousness from "summary" of Bhagavad Gita by Stephen Mitchell
The path of righteousness is not always easy to follow, but it is the path that leads to true fulfillment and inner peace. In the Bhagavad Gita, Lord Krishna teaches Arjuna that walking this path requires a deep commitment to doing what is right, even when it is difficult or goes against our own self-interest.
Walking the path of righteousness means acting with integrity and compassion, regardless of the circumstances. It means putting aside our own desires and ego in order to serve the greater good. This path requires us to let go of our attachment to the fruits of our actions and instead focus on the actions themselves, without expecting anything in return.
Lord Krishna tells Arjuna that those who walk the path of righteousness are guided by wisdom and live in harmony with the world around them. They do not seek to harm others or take more than they need, but instead strive to create a world of peace and abundance for all beings.
Walking the path of righteousness also means being honest with ourselves and others. It means being true to our values and beliefs, even when it is tempting to compromise them for personal gain. It means living with integrity and speaking the truth, even when it is difficult or unpopular.
Lord Krishna reminds Arjuna that walking the path of righteousness requires courage and strength of character. It means standing up for what is right, even in the face of adversity. It means being willing to face our fears and overcome our own shortcomings in order to live a life of virtue and honor.
In the Bhagavad Gita, Lord Krishna teaches us that walking the path of righteousness is not always easy, but it is the only path that leads to true happiness and liberation. By following this path with dedication and commitment, we can find peace, fulfillment, and a deeper connection to the world around us.
