"Next, the punishment of the wicked. Those who transgress the limits set for each type or genus of animals, those who indulge in A-Karma, A-nyaya and Anaachaara, and who roam about caught in the coils of Ahamkaara have to be punished; those who have allowed Rajoguna and Thamoguna to predominate and Sathwaguna to be extinguished in them and who have thus lost all trace of Daya, Dharma and Daanam have to be punished."

Thirdly, Krishna informed Arjuna that the fostering of Dharma is also His work. The word Sadhu has another meaning, important in this context. A Sadhu is he who does not deviate from his duty, whatever the temptation and whatever the danger. The wicked revel in creating trouble for such men and in indulging in acts contrary to the injunctions of the Sastras. What then is the establishment of Dharma? It is acting strictly according to the Dharma laid down in the Sastras; spreading among people the glory and the splendour of a life lived in Dharma; stabilising reverence towards the Vedas and the Sastras, towards God and Avatharas and Paramapurushas and the Sadhana that leads to liberation and blessedness beyond this life. It is called Dharma-samsthaapana, Dharmarakshana or Dharmoddhaarana. "Whatever I do, it is all for this high purpose; nothing is for My own advancement. Those who know this secret can escape birth and death," said Krishna.

To feel that the Lord is away, afar, separate from you - that is called Paroksha jnana. To feel that the Lord who is immanent in the universe is in you also as the Atman - that is A-paroksha jnana. If all activity is moved by the dedicatory spirit, the Chiththa of man can be rendered pure. Only those who have pure consciousness can recognise the divine nature of the Lord's Janma and Karma, said Krishna. All cannot so recognise them as divine. Yet, no one should avoid contact with the Lord come in human form. Try your very best and utilise every chance. There should not be any lapse on your part.

This is emphasised in the tenth sloka of this chapter where the signs of the Adhikari, the deserving candidate, are given. "Arjuna! not all can understand the Divyathwam of My Janma and Karma. Only those who are free from attachment, hatred, fear and anger; only those who are immersed in the name and form of the Lord; who know of no other support than Me, who are sanctified by the knowledge of the Atma; only these can grasp it. Those who seek Me undeviatingly, possessing Sathya, Dharma and Prema, will reach Me. This is absolutely true, take it from Me. Give up any doubt you may have."
