Please explain the meaning of 'Sarva dharman parityajya' from the Gita.

Swami rerplied: Whenever justice competes with injustice in worldly matters (Pravritti), we have to vote for justice rejecting injustice. But when God competes with the justice (Nivritti), you have to reject justice and vote for God, who is the Protector of justice. God is above everything and this should be proved practically. Only then will you win in the tests of God. The ultimate aim of following justice is only to please God. Then what is the fun of voting for justice against the will of God? Krishna asked Dharma Raja to tell a lie in the war. Dharma Raja refused, against the will of God. Dharma Raja went to hell for not telling the lie as per the will of God.
