| O Arjuna, the Atma that dwells in
the body of all
(beings) is eternally indestructible. Therefore, you should not mourn for any body.
(2.30)
Considering also your duty as a warrior you should not
waver. Because there is nothing more auspicious for a warrior than a
righteous war. (2.31)
Only the fortunate warriors, O Arjuna, get such an opportunity for
an unsought war that is like an open door
to heaven. (2.32)
If you will not 3ght this righteous war, then you will fail
in your duty, lose your reputation, and incur sin. (2.33)
People will talk about your disgrace forever. To the honored, dishonor
is worse than death. (2.34)
The great warriors will think that you
have retreated
from the battle out of fear. Those who have greatly
esteemed you will lose respect for you. (2.35) |
