Bhagavad Gita: Chapter II - Verse 37

Win or lose it is win win!

Hato Va Prapsyasi Swargam Jitwa Va Bhokshyase Mahim
Tasmad Utthishtha Kaunteya Yuddhaya Kritanischayaha

Oh son of Kunti - Kaunteya! If you are killed in this battle you will reach heaven. If you win this battle, you will enjoy the kingdom acquired. So please firm up your resolve to fight, and get up.
Sri Krishna's words highlight the need today for giving yourself fully in the present moment and act. Any work done in the present moment, with total awareness will benefit the individual, whether the action leads to success or becomes a flop. It is while giving one's full self in the present moment that the mind gets evolved and fine-tuned. This is the only benefit of any action and not the result of any action. - Swahilya Shambhavi.

Bhagavad Gita: Chapter II: Verse 36

Even enemies will belittle you

Avachya vadamscha bahun vadishyanti tavahitaha
Nindantastava Samarthyam Tato Dukha taram nu kim

Sri Krishna tells Arjuna of another excruciatingly humbling possibility when his enemies will disparage his capabilities in many different words. "What more sorrow do you need?" asks Krisna who shoots arrow after arrow of dire possibilities just in case Arjuna choses to withdraw from the war. - Swahilya Shambhavi.

Bhagavad Gita Chapter II : Verse 35

Anyways you will be laughed at!

Bhayadranaduparatam Mamsyante Twam Maharathaha
Yesham Cha Twam Bahumataha Bhutwa Yasyasi Laghavam

Krishna now pokes Arjuna with the stick of a possible ridicule. He says all the great charioteers will think that you turned around and ran away from battle out of fear. You, Arjuna, who have been the object of respect owing to your victory in wars, will be considered as one too easy to defeat in war if you back out now, he taunts Arjuna now.
-Swahilya Shambhavi

Bhagavad Gita: Chapter II Verse: 34

Dishonour is worse than death

Akeertim Chaapi Bhootani Kathayishyanti Tevyayam
Sambhavitasya Chakeerthihi Marananad Atirichyate
*****
Here Krishna also warns Arjuna of a life of disrepute and dishonour, especially for a respected soldier that he is. If he did not participate in the righteous war to uphold Dharma, he may continue to live as the beings on earth will speak of him with dishonour for eternity. To live with a bad reputation s worse than death, says Sri Krishna. - Swahilya Shambhavi.

You will relinquish your duty

Atha Chethwamimam Dharmyam Samgramam Na Karishyasi

Tatah Swadharmam Keerthimcha Hithwa Papam Avapsyasi

However, if you do not participate in this war, you will incur sin and you will also be failing in your duty as you have relinquishe your reputation as a warrior, says Krishna to Arjuna. Swahilya Shambhavi.

Bhagavad Gita: Chapter II: Vertse: 30/31

Upholding duty

Swadharmam Apichavekshya Navikampitum Arhasi
Dharmyaddhi Yuddhachchreyonyat Kshatriyasya Na Vidyate
Even considering one's own dharma, one should not falter. For a Kshatriya, there is no greater good that is known than fighting in a righteous war.
Yadruchchaya Chopapannam Swargadwaramapavrutam
Sukhinah Kshatriyah Partha Labhante Yuddhameedrisham
*****
Oh Arjuna, By chance this war has come, taking you close to the door of heaven which is now open. Such a war in the hands of a kshatriyah is indeed one that makes them happy.
In both these verses, Sri Krishna uses the trumpcard of duty and the joy of fulfilling his duties as a warrior to pep up his emotions and make him ready to fight. - Swahilya Shambhavi. (swahilya.soulmate@gmail.com)

Bhagavad Gita: Chapter 2 - Verse 29

A wonder for all

Ascharyavatpashyati Kaschidenam Ascharyavadwadati Tathaivachanyaha
Ascharyavacchaina Manyashrunoti Shruthwapyenam Vedaa Chaiva Kaschit
Some have a glimpse of the consciousness manifesting itself and wonders about it. Some speak of Him as a marvel and some hear Him as a marvel. Yet, none know about Him, despite, seeing, speaking or hearing.
Consciousness is so subtle that it cannot be fathomed with the sens organs, but always keeps one in a state of wonder.
