Relating to the present moment
Evamukto Hrishikeshaha Gudakeshena Bharatha
Senayorubhayor Madhye Sthapayithva Rathothamam
Bhishma Drona Pramukhataha Sarvesham Cha Mahikshitham
Uvacha Partha Pashyaitan Samavetan Kuruniti
Tatra Pashyathsthithan Parthaha Pitrunatha Pithamahan
Acharyan Matulan Bhrathrun Puthran Pauthran Sakhimsthatha
Shwashuran Suhrudaschaiva Senaiyorubhayorapi
Tansamiksha Sa Kaunteya Sarvan Bandhun Avasthithan.

Sanjaya said: Oh Kind Dhritarashtra! Sri Krishna stopped the most splendid of the chariots between both the armies and told Gudakesha - the conquerer of sleep - Arjuna: Oh Arjuna! See these men of the Kuru horde assembled for battle."
There he saw in both the armies, fathers, grandfathers, uncles, brothers, sons, grandsons, friends, fathers-in-law and soulmates.
Relationships and friendships happen in life in different situations. But life is a permanently changing phenomenon and the friend of today can find him or herself in the enemy camp of tomorrow. The closest of relatives or cousins can be in the opposition team, decided by situations and circumstances.
Being in the present moment demands exceptional courage to act with presence of mind, instead of being torn and disturbed by the relationships of the past or anxieties of the future. This is a crisis that has confronted the valiant Arjuna. - Swahilya Shambhavi.
