It gets into metaphysics but starts with Arjuna, a prince, and Krishna acting as his charioteer on a battlefield. Arjuna is a Kshatriya, the warrior and administrator caste, but is waffling since some of his friends and relatives are on the other side. Krishna tells he is a warrior, and his duty (dharma) is to go to war. Quit whining and get to it. It's usually dated after the rise of Buddhism. Buddha was also a Kshatriya as were as many of his followers and they went off to gaze at their navels rather than performing the role of their caste. Most of the politicians swearing on a bible think their only duty is enriching themselves. They definitely aren't Kshatriya.
