One's own duty, though defective, is better than another's duty well performed. Death in (performing) one's own duty is preferable ; the (performance of the) duty of others is dangerous. Arguna said: But by whom, O descendant of Vrishni! is man impelled, even though unwilling and, as it were, constrained by force, to commit sin? The Deity said: It is desire, it is wrath, born from the quality of passion; it is very ravenous, very sinful. Know that that is the foe in this world.
