Rigors Of Conditioning

1.31 I do not see how any good can come from killing my own kinsmen in this battle, Nor can I, my dear Krishna, desire any subsequent victory, kingdom or happiness.

1.32 What use is kingdom, pleasures or even life, Krishna?

1.33 Those for whose sake we seek kingdoms, enjoyment and happiness

Now are arrayed in this battlefield ready to lose their lives and wealth.

1. 34, 1.35 Even if I am about to be slain by my teachers, fathers, sons, grandfathers, maternal uncles, fathers-in-law, grandsons, brothers-in- law and all relatives,

I would not like to slay them to gain control of all three worlds.
