“अन्यथा चिन्तयन्तो मां ये जनाः पर्युपासते ।
तेऽपि मामेव कौन्तेय यान्ति नास्त्यत्र संशयः ॥”
— Bhagavad Gita 9.23
(“Even those who worship other deities with faith, they too worship Me alone, O son of Kunti, but by the wrong method.”)
It is one of the most paradoxical truths hidden within Krishna’s life: that his own kinsmen, the mighty Yadavas who were born, raised, and protected under his divine care, ultimately turned against Dharma, walked away from him in spirit, and destroyed themselves.
The Bhagavad Gita, spoken by Krishna to Arjuna on the battlefield of Kurukshetra, has become a timeless guide to inner clarity and spiritual strength. Yet within its verses lies a subtle but powerful truth: no bond is permanent when it loses sight of Dharma, not even the bond of family with God himself.
This is the forgotten lesson: attachment without wisdom can lead to downfall, even if you share a roof with the Divine.
1. Krishna Never Demanded Loyalty. He Offered Vision
Unlike rulers or gurus who demand blind obedience, Krishna constantly urges Arjuna to reflect, question, and choose freely.
In Chapter 18, he says clearly:
“Thus I have explained to you this knowledge… deeply reflect on it, and then do as you wish.” Krishna’s bond with his devotees is built on conscious choice, not forced loyalty. Unfortunately, the Yadavas grew arrogant in the shadow of his divinity. What started as loyalty turned into entitlement.
The Gita reminds us that spiritual vision must be stronger than family ties. Arjuna was taught how to see truth beyond his attachment. The Yadavas, blinded by their pride, never looked inward. That is why even their closeness to Krishna could not save them.
