Sins can be accrued in two ways, through “Act of Commission” i.e knowingly indulging in bad deeds and through the “Act of Omission” i.e not indulging in bad deeds but not preventing the bad deed from happening when one is in the know of things.So the duty of a Kshatriya (Warrior) is to protect his subjects from evil-doers.If he fails in his duty, then he incurs the sin.
How he incurs the sin is explained in the next shloka.

Here the Lord says, that for a Kshatriya fighting a righteous war is dharma or one’s duty than running away from a war,If a Kshatriya runs away from a war, unrighteousness will prevail.There are two paths namely Sreyas , the path of the good, and Preyas, the path of the pleasant.
Now a days everybody follows a path of pleasant or preyas and when they are victimised they talk that no one is following Dharma.If everyone follows path of preyas then who will follow the path of Dharma.The path of Good is laid with thorns but in the long run will give good results.
Everyone has a duty in this society namely the ruler should do his dharma of ruling righteously, the businessman should do business with ethics, the teacher should inculcate moral values and the student should study.When even one section escapes from the path of duty all the other sections will suffer.

CHAPTER 2, SHLOKA 30

After reading this Sloka some critics may argue that Lord Krishna is asking not to grieve for any being.Actually it has to be understood, that in which context and to whom the Lord is talking to.Here Lord Krishna is talking to a person (Arjuna) who having cast off his manliness is overcome by effeminacy and finding reasons to escape from the battle.
To do charity in terms of money, one should be rich, to show sympathy towards or to forgive another, one has to be strong.Here Arjuna himself is in need of being shown sympathy and not the other way round.
Here Sri Krishna is trying to make a “Man” out of Arjuna who has mentally broken down.So once Arjuna retains his composure and manliness, all other virtues will slowly descend.Here Lord is telling Arjuna that the Soul of all beings is one and the same.
This can be explained in another way to our tech savvy youngsters.Imagine a Server connected to all other computers.Atman is like that server.If one or two computers go bust or even if all computers go bust we are not bothered because the server is intact.

The Atman cannot be seen, heard, felt , said or known to an impure mind, then what is it ? We with our organs of senses cannot perceive it so it is said to be beyond mind – matter phenomenon.
Then who can perceive it or can one really know it ? Yes, it can be known through the “intellect’ or “Dhi” “buddhi”,Normally, colloquially we consider mind and intellect as one and the same, but they are different.Buddhi has no exact translation in english.It is higher than the mind, which I will describe in the later chapters when the discussion about it comes.
A person trying to see it tries to see it through a translucent or opaque glass.Because his mind has not purified and he cannot see it clearly.Vedas, Upanishads etc try to define it but cannot make one experience it.They at the most take us very near it by defining the path but cannot make us experience it by reading or hearing about it.So Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa used to say that since we can chant Vedas, Upanishads etc they have been touched by our spittle but no one in this Universe has been able to explain what is Atman by his mouth.So it is not defiled by the spittle yet.
Atman can only be “experienced” by a pure mind but cannot be heard, told etc in the realms of this sense organs.

Let me state an example to explain the above .A child “X” is born.He immediately comes into relationship with parents, grandparents and siblings.As he grows up his grandparents may die and what is manifested ends.He grows into a youth, marries and acquires a new relation — his wife.Before marriage the girl was unrelated to him.After children are born ,the unmanifested till then come into existence.And as he grows old and dies. he becomes unmanifest.
We acquire relations on this earth, this is the mid-state as he calls.The past before one is born is unmanifest and death is also unmanifest state.Only the present state on earth we acquire relationships, call people our own and all this dissolves with the death of the person.
Lord Krishna says, this is the cycle through all living beings have to in- evitably pass through so why should one come to grief thinking about the loss of relatives ( Kauravas) who belong to us temporarily.

Here Krishna does not impose his doctrine, but says what ever philosophy Arjuna believes in atheism or theism, he should not grieve over death.Because what is born will modify into death and what has died will modify into birth.
A person believing in Karma theory believes that as long as the fruits of Karma lasts he will have to take birth.
A disbeliever in God thinks that the body is made of pancabhuta i.e five elements of nature and will dissolve into it in death.Also the body takes birth from the five elements of nature.
So whatever one believes in, death and birth are inevitable so one should not grieve over it.This is what Lord Krishna says.
Here Lord Krishna does not try to frighten Arjuna by saying believe in God and I will remove fear of death.But he wants Arjuna himself to think coolly for himself, whether he believes in God or not, and with a logical mind overcome fear of death.
My next post will be on 16 th December.

This is a very beautiful verse from Gita.Here Krishna does not thrust his views on Arjuna.After having explained the characteristics of Atman ( soul) that it does not die ,it is ever present, nor is it born etc, Lord Krishna says that even if Arjuna is an atheist and believes that the Atman also dies even then he should not grieve.
Since atheists say that what is born has to die and if even if Arjuna is having agnosticism in his views, it is not a problem, but he must not grieve even if he thinks that the Atman is born and dies.
Here Lord says so because despondency takes away manliness and deludes the mind.So to have a cool mind to take decisions, one should not give scope for negative thinking.
The reason why he says that Arjuna should not grieve, even if he is an atheist, is explained in the next verse.

The self cannot be cut into pieces, so it is eternal.It exists everywhere and not absent at one place or the other, so it is eternal.That which changes place is movable, but Atman is present everywhere so immovable.Since it is present everywhere and not absent anywhere it is stable.It is beyond time, it was ever present and will be everpresent in the future so it is everlasting.

Like the snake which develops new skin before casting off the slough, same way the Jiva-Atman mentally assumes a new form before giving up the body.His mind and innate tendencies (vasanas) do not die with the gross body.The Jiva Atman choses to develop another gross body in a womb suited to it’s tendencies.

He who has realised the Atman, is free from Papa (sin) or Punya ( good deed) because he does not have “Ego” or the Kartri Bhava i.e he does not think that “I am the doer”.So the Karma which he does through the body does not taint him.So Lord Krishna here says, that the knower of Atman, knows he(Atman) cannot be killed and he (Atman) cannot kill others because through the body if he has killed anybody, it does not taint him because he is always absorbed in “Self”
Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa ( Swami Vivekananda’s Guru) gives a beautiful explanation explaining this philosophy.He says that in a village lived a pious monk.Once he was beaten by some rogues of his village and he fell unconcious.When some villagers who were passing by saw him and gave him milk and nursed him back to health.When he gained conciousness, they asked him as to who had beaten him.He replied, “The hand that gave me milk had beaten me”.So since he was a self realized soul he did not distinguish between good and evil actions of the body.

Birth,existence,growth,change.decay and death -These are the six kinds of modification or cycle of evolution undergone by the body which is made up of pancha mahaboothas or five elements of nature.But Atman, since it is unborn or in existence ever, is not subject to these modifications.

Here Krishna says that a person who thinks that the “atman” is killed or kills is ignorant.Because Atman is ever free not born nor will it die.Since we cannot go beyond time and everything we feel in this world is subject mind-matter phenomenon.We cannot think beyond it.
When we say “X” died, only his body dies and not his soul.The soul is untouched by the impurities.Only that which has a birth dies and the soul was never born to die.Here our identification with the body is the root cause of all problem.This is my car, my house, my money etc, with this thinking whenever there is a loss, a damage to my car or my house the man suffers tremendous pain.Why ? Because of his identification with the ephemeral objects.So people ask- should one reject all those ? No. Enjoy knowing well they are impermanent, and if they are not there do not lose your peace.
