How are the Analects and the Bhagavad Gita related according to their intentions and thoughts?

Both of these works involve a master and a disciple. In both works, the master gives instruction to the disciple and answers the disciples questions. In the Bhagavad Gita, Krishna is the master and Arjuna is the disciple. Both works are concerned with how an individual fits into the larger society through their relationships. In both works, the master instructs the disciple to honor their duties and social responsibilities. The Bhagavad Gita and the Analects give special attention to the parent–child relationship, the teacher–student relationship, and the king–subject relationship. The works emphasize that a well-functioning society depends upon socially harmonious relationships.
Both works also discuss the art of ruling. The master gives instruction to the king and governing lords. Both works explore themes of justice, fairness, virtue, and righteousness. The aim of both the Analects and the Bhagavad Gita is to help the disciple grow into a just and honorable ruler.
