Arjuna was directed to engage in battle, win back his share of the Kingdom, ensure for the people righteous administration and atmosphere wherein they strive successfully to attain salvation. This he had to do in a spirit of dedication and surrender to the will of God, irrespective of his own likes and dislikes and the consequences that might flow from his unselfish activities. Gita advises that service to the society is the highest service, as well as the most beneficial sadhana (spiritual practice). You cannot run away from this obligation; you have to use the community wherein you are born for sublimating your egoism and saving yourself. When Dharmaraja performed the great Rajasuya sacrifice on the advice of the sage Narada to propitiate his deceased father, Lord Krishna attended the sacrifice and asked to be allotted some service; He preferred the service of removing the leaves on which food was served for the thousands who were fed every day!
