Loyalty is a glorious virtue— unless it is disastrously weaponized by the vicious. A tragic example of this is the Mahabharata character Karna. He was loyal, but to whom? To Duryodhana, who gave him a throne and took his dharma in return. That loyalty cost Karna his conscience when he conspired with Duryodhana to burn the Pandavas alive. It cost him his compassion when instead of protecting Draupadi, he suggested that she be disrobed and dishonoured. And it finally cost him his life when he rejected Krishna’s peace proposal and ended up dead on the Kurukshetra battlefield. When your loyalty serves the vice, you are not elevated, you are enslaved. The Bhagavad Gita 18.66 says, “Give up all duties, surrender to me.” Because devotion to Krishna is the one loyalty that never makes you betray your own soul.
