What is right?

This is tricky. And as per Gita what is right is circumstantial. For a soldier to kill in war to protect his country is right. But most circumstances killing is murder & wrong.

Similarly the medicines which often contain some poisonous & harmful chemicals are not good for us. But when the body has an infection or a disease they are good for us.

So right and wrong is sometimes difficult to understand & controversial .

In Gita it mentions that if confused try the following test to determine what is right
1. Will it bring you fame ( in the good sense) ?
2. Is it something the noble / good guys will do?
3. Will it be for the common/social good ?

Usually this will help clear doubts & help in taking the right decision.
