Arjun and Pandav decide to leave swyamvar...
At that moment He calls them...
Vasudev : where are you going young brahmins ?
(Indirectly) : Having talent to win a competition and leaving it without any desire to win is also called a skill...
(samarth rahete hue bhi spardha chor dena avashya samarth hai)
But who will be benefited by this sort of talent ?
Showing back to Karma is surely called "tapasya"
(Karm ko peeth dikhana avashay tapasya kahelati hogi)
But what sort of benefit will the world get from this sort of inaction?
If you only think about your happiness, your own sadness, you own promises and if you do not fulfill your responsibilities towards the society... then you are selfish...
But true talent can never be selfish...
When a lion eats, it leaves so much for others to eat...
This knowledge full of Paramarth (the highest truth) is Dharm...
(Ye paramarth se bhare budhhi hi dharm ka adhar hai)
Swaym vichar kijiye...
If you really have talent, come forward...
This competition is related to the welfare of world, perhaps your welfare too...
The basic meaning is : If you have talent, show it, use your talent for the welfare of society, not for gaining name, fame and money but for the good, for the benefit of others...
