तमुवाच हृषीकेशः प्रहसन्निव भारत ।
सेनयोरुभयोर्मध्ये विषीदन्तमिदं वचः
॥ २-१०॥
tam uvāca hṛṣīkeśaḥ
prahasanniva bhārata senayor
ubhayor madhye
viṣīdantamidaṁ vacaḥ
Kṛṣṇa, Hṛṣīkeśa, smilingly
spoke the following words to
the grief-stricken Arjuna, as
they were placed in the middle
of both armies.
POWERFUL COGNITION
Kṛṣṇa addresses Arjuna's incompletion directly.
श्रीभगवानुवाच । अशोच्यानन्वशोचस्त्वं प्रज्ञावादांश्च भाषसे । गतासूनगतासूंश्च नानुशोचन्ति पण्डिताः ॥ २=११॥
śrībhagavānuvāca aśocyān
anvaśocas tvaṁ prajñāvādāṁś
ca bhāṣase I gatāsūn agatāsūṁś
ca nānuśocanti paṇḍitāḥ
Bhagavān says: You grieve for
those that should not be
grieved for and yet you speak
words of wisdom The wise
grieve neither for the living
nor for the dead.
POWERFUL COGNITION
A truly intelligent person does not bother about death.
देहिनेोऽस्मिन्यथा देहे कौमारं यौवनं जरा ।
तथा देहान्तरप्राप्तिर्धीरस्तत्र न मुह्यति
॥ २=१३॥
na tvevāhaṁ jātu nāsaṁ na
tvaṁ neme janādhipāḥ na caiva
na bhaviṣyāmaḥ sarve vayam
ataḥ param
It is not that at anytime in the
past I did not exist. So did you
and these rulers exist and we
shall not ever cease to be
hereafter.
POWERFUL COGNITION
See the brilliance of Śrī Kṛṣṇa! He is so soaked in the space of completion.
देहिनोऽस्मिन्यथा देहे कौमारं यौवनं जरा ।
तथा देहान्तरप्राप्तिर्धीरस्तत्र न मुह्यति
॥ २=१३॥
dehino’sminyathā dehe kaumāraṁ
yauvanaṁ jarā tathā dehāntara
prāptir dhīras tatra na muhyati
Just as the spirit in this body passes
through childhood, youth and old
age, so does it pass into another
body; the man centered in himself
does not fear this
POWERFUL COGNITION
The creator is also the destroyer.
