A common space for harmonic peacemakers

II: 3

Chapter 2, Verse 3

"Fall not into degrading weakness,

For it is unworthy of you, Arjuna.

Throw off this faintheartedness,

And arise like a fire

That burns everything

In its way."

Sri Aurobindo:

"Arjuna is a master-man in the making. He has a work given to him. He has God beside him in his chariot. He has the heavenly bow, Gandiva, in his hand. He has the champions of unrighteousness spread out before him. Not his is the right to determine what he shall do or not do according to his emotions. Not his is the right to recoil from a necessary destruction by the claim of his ego-heavy heart and mind. All that is a weak falling from his higher nature. He has to see only the work that must be done, to hear only the divine command breathed through his warrior nature, to feel only for the destiny of humanity beckoning him as its God-sent representative to assist its march and clear its path of the dark armies that beset it."
