@Y12 the question is good. Why Krishna didnt establish dharma himself. Why he made Arjuna fight the war. You are right to a great extend in understanding BG, I will explain a bit more. We are born as humans. We have been given a thinking brain and a working heart. If God can do everything, why are we send here. Why? Because he expects us to get the knowledge acquire wealth and power through right means, and use it for the betterment of this world. You need not fight a big war or anything. Even if you show humanity, even if you help people in your capacity that becomes your service to him. Simply karmayoga. It is like his power is on one side and he is with you, directing you to take away his power that is not relevant with respect to the times. In nutshell he is asking us to live, not die, live in present. Maya is always in past and future, but it is not there in present. Present is the truth, what you do in present create the memories and the hope for future.
When people say things are happening without doing anything, they need to understand someone else is doing their job and we need to be thankful. People talk about miracles. How does miracle happen, it is through people who heed God's direction and spend their time and effort in bringing the change. And all changes have visible and invisible collateral damages. If we say collateral damage is not acceptable we will have to write off our freedom struggle as there were enough victims on both sides of the border when partition of India happened on 15th Aug-1947. Most of them were collateral damages, the price of our freedom.
If you see the show the collateral damage happened because of Duffer-Dusky friendship, the friendship that gave Duffer to do anything he wants. That was the cause, Maya was the effect. Life doesnt come in that Duffer-Dusky friendship, only death looms. Life comes only in Arjun and Maya's love, when Dusky becomes a medium and not take Maya's place. This is what Maya understood in BG. Maya could have easily walked away in S1 from that toxic friendship than become the effect of that toxic friendship and become bad and mad. She couldnt. But in the end she goes away from that toxic friendship for ever leaving the symbol of the love she had for Arjun.
Now coming to destruction we need to understand creation and destruction are part of life. To sustain life creation and destruction has to happen. Depending on time what is harmful for life has to be destroyed, what is needed for life has to be preserved. Now how to decide the what needs to be destroyed, what needs to be preserved. If we understand BG we will get the knowledge, how to destroy ego, how to preserve empathy. How to burn and become a lamp. How to live life in present. How to use wealth and power for betterment of society. How to stand up for injustice. It will teach you to accept the tamoguna in you and direct you to burn it the right way and use it for the right cause.
