Shloka 29
🌟 Sanskrit:
गाण्डीवं स्रंसते हस्तात्त्वक्चैव परिदह्यते |
न च शक्नोम्यवस्थातुं भ्रमतीव च मे मनः || 1.29 ||
🌟 Transliteration:
gāṇḍīvaṁ sraṁsate hastāt tvak caiva paridahyate |
na ca śaknomy avasthātuṁ bhramatīva ca me manaḥ ||
🌟 Meaning:
The Gandiva bow is slipping from my hand, and my skin is burning all over. I am unable to stand steady, and my mind is reeling.
🌟 Explanation:
Arjuna’s crisis intensifies. His legendary bow, Gandiva, an extension of his very identity as a warrior, is slipping from his grasp—a powerful symbol of him losing his resolve. The physical sensations of burning skin and a dizzy, reeling mind show just how profoundly his inner turmoil is affecting his ability to function. 🏹🔥
Shloka 30
🌟 Sanskrit:
निमित्तानि च पश्यामि विपरीतानि केशव |
न च श्रेयोऽनुपश्यामि हत्वा स्वजनमाहवे || 1.30 ||
🌟 Transliteration:
nimittāni ca paśyāmi viparītāni keśava |
na ca śreyo ’nupaśyāmi hatvā sva-janam āhave ||
🌟 Meaning:
I see opposing omens, O Keshava (Krishna). I do not foresee any good resulting from killing my own kinsmen in battle.
🌟 Explanation:
Arjuna starts to rationalize his feelings. He tells Krishna that he sees only bad omens (viparītāni nimittāni), suggesting that nature itself is warning against this war. More importantly, he directly questions the purpose of the fight, declaring that he sees no ultimate good (śreyas) or victory in killing his own family. This is the beginning of his moral argument against the war. 🦉❌
Shloka 31
🌟 Sanskrit:
न काङ्क्षे विजयं कृष्ण न च राज्यं सुखानि च |
किं नो राज्येन गोविन्द किं भोगैर्जीवितेन वा || 1.31 ||
🌟 Transliteration:
na kāṅkṣe vijayaṁ kṛṣṇa na ca rājyaṁ sukhāni ca |
kiṁ no rājyena govinda kiṁ bhogair jīvitena vā ||
🌟 Meaning:
O Krishna, I desire neither victory, nor a kingdom, nor its pleasures. Of what use is a kingdom to us, O Govinda? What is the purpose of its enjoyments, or even of life itself?
🌟 Explanation:
In his despair, Arjuna renounces everything he is supposed to be fighting for. The concepts of victory, kingdom, and happiness seem utterly worthless to him if the price is the death of his relatives. He questions the very value of life if it is built on the suffering of his loved ones. This is a profound moment of existential crisis. 👑💔
Today’s Takeaway
Question Your "Why." When faced with a difficult choice, it's essential to question your motivation. What are you truly fighting for? Arjuna teaches us that worldly gains like victory and pleasure mean nothing without a foundation of moral and emotional well-being. If the "how" destroys the "why," it's time to pause and seek deeper wisdom. 🤔❤️
JAI SHRI KRISHNA💕💖💞🙏🙏💟
