Bhagavad Gita Chapter 2 Verse - 22

Know the Invincible

Veda Vinashinam Nithyam Ya Enam Ajam Avyayam
Katham Sa Purushah Partha Kamghatayati Hanti Kam
*****

For the one who knows his essential being called consciousness which is indestructible, eternal, unborn and of one contiguous piece, how can such a person kill or be killed.
Sri Krishna is a mastermind here who simply draws from the whole universal truth and philosophy to achieve his aim of getting Arjuna to fight. So verse after verse, he goes into the depths of consciousness and points out to him that every creation is covered by the same consciousness and contains the same consciousness. So there is no difference here between the killer and the killed.
