1/ The first scene in The Bhagavad Gita is Arjuna (a prince and warrior) is faced with the prospect of civil war (Kurukshetra war) with friends, teachers and family on both sides of the battle over who is the rightful heir to the throne. He's overcome with sorrow at the lives that are to be lost, blood of his family that is about to be spilled, and doesn't think its worth 3 worlds let alone one world to go into battle for this, is pretty much frozen in his tracks, not knowing what to do. Sri Krishna, who is Arjuna's charioteer and also the divine incarnation of everything that has ever existed, exists today and ever will, in an earthly form (because the Gods like to visit every now and then) -- comes to help him as his charioteer, and also to help Arjuna understand his path and what to do next. This is pretty much the premise of the Bhagavad Gita. On that note, a totally different story:

2/ When you start to bring the idea of building a product, or starting the company usually involves creating something new into the world -- let's say a new service, or new product, a new process, some new art, a new way of doing things - some sort of creation, it triggers a cascading series of events that unfold into the world First, the consequences of these are usually desired outcomes, if you are lucky, the goal that the product was supposed to do for customers and users alike, it actually does them and thats great. That's the positive part of it. There is also a hidden negative part of the consequences of these cascading is an understanding that there will be destruction. Sometimes it is in the form of pollution, corruption, ruining peoples lives etc etc.

3/ In the agrarian societies before the Industrial Revolution - before 1850s or so, much of this planet and its inhabitants used to grow our own food (just enough to survive) i.e. we used to kill our own animals. We would eat them and thank them for nourishment that they would provide. We would often, provide sacrifices to the Gods, and thank them for our harvest, for our cattle and sheep that we would eat to sustain ourselves and move forward

One of the key takeaways from the Bhagavad Gita is that even in the midst of chaos and uncertainty, there is a higher purpose or dharma that guides us towards a path of action. But i have to ask How do we balance our desire for innovation and progress with our responsibility to minimize harm and promote positive change?
