The text uses the example of Lord Krishna guiding Arjuna on the battlefield to illustrate that mentors can provide direction but ultimately, the individual must take responsibility for their own change. The text then explores practical applications of this principle for individuals in various life stages, suggesting how teenagers, parents, professionals, and entrepreneurs can utilize this concept to improve their lives and relationships.
