When lawlessness prevails O Varsneya (Krishna) moral values begin to be treated as obsolete prescriptions, the codes of ethics and restraint are ridiculed, more importantly the society ridicules and turns hostile to those who volunteer to acquaint the humanity on the codes of rectitude. When the ideals enshrined in the primal traditions are shattered then the social equilibrium is destroyed and consequently chaos is induced. Employing the vocative Varsneya Arjuna seeks to lay emphasis that Lord Krishna took birth in the line of the glorious Vrsni and as such He should be completely aware of all these effects.īy the misdeeds of those who destroy family and create confusion of varnas, the ancient laws of the caste and the family are destroyed. Arjuna concludes when unrighteousness pedals the etiquette of an empire the females of the society are placed in an environment of compromise thus resulting in unwelcome descendants. When the members of the general public/family discard every form of restraint then as a matter of course, misdemeanour extends its sway over the family/society and this is what is broadly meant as sin takes hold of the entire family. The laws of the territory only govern the subjects, generally those who exercise power do not respect the laws of the territory thus it is only the family traditions that link up the individual and the society.
Fear of God though absolutely real and the command of the scriptures though representing truth depend on man’s faith and they are not direct or perceptible incentives. When rectitude is gone then unrighteousness emerges and the society is no longer compelled to adhere to the path of virtue and avoid sin. These valuable conventions are broadly termed as family traditions the annihilation of the dynasty causes scarce qualified members to maintain family traditions, eventually traditions ceases to exist, this is the sinful corollary of the war. Every quality family is a repository of virtuous family customs which are handed generations down that help preserve high standards of conduct from its men and women thus guarding its members from going astray. “When the spiritual traditions and devout standards are shattered in the society, unrighteousness prevails and the surviving members in the society become tainted.” Wars tend to uproot us from the social traditions which are the embodiment of the established understanding of the morality of the people.
5th Part The first chapter of the Srimad Bhagavad Gita is called Arjuna Visaada Yoga or The dialectical conflict of Arjuna: Lamenting the Consequence of War.
