“YOU SHOULD GET UP AND FIGHT”. KRISHNA SAID 🙂
BOTH WHO CONSIDER THE EVERLASTING SOUL AS MORTICIAN OR MORTAL. BOTH DON’T KNOW THAT SOUL ACTUALLY DOESN’T KILL ANYONE OR GET KILLED BY ANYONE.
THIS SOUL DOES NEITHER TAKE BIRTH AT ANY TIME NOR IT DIES AT ANY TIME. NEITHER IT WILL CULTIVATE INTO BEING AGAIN. BECAUSE IT’S UNBORN, REGULAR, ETERNAL, AND CLASSIC. IT IN FACT DOES NOT GET AFFECTED OR KILLED ON BODY/HOST’S DEATH.
HEY PRATHA’S SON ARJUN! ONE WHO COMPREHENDS THIS SOUL AS INDESTRUCTIBLE, REGULAR, UNBORN, NON DECAY-ABLE; WHO CAN HE KILL AND HOW CAN HE KILL?
THE WAY HUMAN TAKES OFF OLD CLOTHES AND WEARS NEW ONES, EVERLASTING SOUL LOSES OLD BODY AND RECEIVES NEW ONES.
NO WEAPON CAN PIERCE IT, NO FIRE CAN BURN IT, NO WATER CAN WET IT. NO AIR CAN DRY IT.
BECAUSE THIS SOUL IS IMPERMEABLE, THIS SOUL IS INCONCEIVABLE, AND IT IS SAID TO BE FLAWLESS. HENCE HEY ARJUN! AFTER KNOWING SOUL AS ROOT CAUSE OF THIS MORTAL BODY AND ABOVE MENTIONED VIRTUES OF SOUL YOU DON’T DESERVE TO MOURN. THAT MEANS IT IS NOT WISE AND ADVISABLE TO MOURN.
EVEN IF YOU CONSIDER SOUL TO BE ALWAYS REBORN AND ALWAYS DYING WITH EVERY SINGLE BODY. STILL HEY STRONG MAN ARJUN! YOU DON’T DESERVE TO MOURN LIKE THIS.
BECAUSE LIKE THIS IT IS A MANDATE FOR A BORN TO DIE AND A DIED TO REBORN. HENCE THIS NO ESCAPE SCENARIO DOES NOT ENABLE YOU TO MOURN.
HEY ARJUN! BEFORE BIRTH ALL BEINGS WERE INVISIBLE AND GOING TO BE SAME AFTER DEATH. THEY ARE ONLY VISIBLE IN MIDDLE OF BIRTH AND DEATH ON TIMELINE. THEN WHY TO MOURN IN SUCH A STATE?
ONLY A GREAT MAN ONLY LOOKS AT SOUL LIKE A WONDER. SIMILARLY ANOTHER GREAT MAN CAN EXPLAIN SOUL LIKE A WONDER AND ONLY A DESERVING MAN CAN LISTEN TO SOUL LIKE A WONDER. SOME PEOPLE DON’T KNOW IT EVEN AFTER LISTENING ABOUT IT’S WONDER VIRTUES.
HEY ARJUN! THIS EVERLASTING SOUL IS INDESTRUCTIBLE INSIDE EVERYBODY OF US. HENCE YOU PRACTICALLY CAN’T MOURN FOR ENTIRE LIVING SPECIES.
AND YOU SHOULD ALSO NOT MOURN IF YOU ARE LOOKING AT YOUR WORLDLY DUTIES TOWARDS EVERYONE. BECAUSE KSHATRIYA/WARRIOR CAN’T GET ANY BETTER THAN A DUTIFUL WAR.
HEY PARTH/ARJUN! ONLY EXTREMELY LUCKY WARRIORS FIND AN OPEN DOOR OF HEAVEN AS A DUTIFUL WAR.
HOWEVER IF YOU DO NOT FIGHT THIS WAR OF DUTY, YOU WILL LOSE UPON RIGHTEOUS DUTIES AND GLORY AND WILL GET ON SIN’S SIDE.
PEOPLE WILL SING YOU NON GLORIOUS ACT FOR A LONG TIME. AND NOTORIETY IS WORSE THAN DEATH FOR A GREAT MAN.
YOU WILL LOOSE YOUR GRANDEUR IN THE EYES OF PEOPLE WHO LOOK UP TO YOU AS A GREAT DECORATED MAN. ALL BRAVE PEOPLE WILL TAKE YOU A COWARD WHO GAVE UP ON A DUTIFUL WAR.
PEOPLE WHO DO NOT LIKE YOU WILL SAY MANY THINGS NOT TO BE EVER SAID ABOUT YOUR HEROISM. WHAT’S MORE PAINFUL THAN THAT?
EITHER YOU WILL GET KILLED AND ATTAIN HEAVEN FOR FIGHTING A DUTIFUL WAR OR YOU WILL WIN AND RULE THE LAND. HENCE HEY ARJUN BOTH THE THINGS ARE GOOD. DECIDE TO FIGHT AND GET UP.
