आत्मवर्गं परित्यत्य परवर्गं समाश्रयेत्।
स्वयमेव लयं याति यथा राज्यमधर्मत: ।।
Aatmavargam Parittyajjya Parvargam Samaashret |
Svyaamev Layam Yaati Yathaa Raajyamdharmatah ||
Those who leave their own true state and seek support of another perish like a country resorting to corrupt means.
One should’t forgo one’s own faith or way of leading life because change in it means resorting to some way about which you have no idea. It is ‘Adharm’ for the upholder of the forlorn faith. And while treading a new path one is likely to commit grave mistake, which may lead one to the way of doom.
Chanakya avers Bhagwat Gita’s dictate that one should never leave one’s way of working or in other words, one’s category or else one is doomed.
