The final verse of the Bhagavad Gita encapsulates the essence of life, declaring that prosperity, victory, glory, and morality accompany those who embody both spiritual mastery and righteous action. When one achieves mastery over the mind, intellect, and senses, like Krishna, and possesses strength and is dedicated to righteous action, like Arjuna, success naturally follows.
