Bhagavad-gita As It Is Ch. 2 Text 27- 30

 

Text 27

 

For one who has taken his birth, death is certain; and for

one who is dead, birth is certain. Therefore, in the unavoidable

discharge of your duty, you should not lament.

 

PURPORT

According to logicians, one has to take birth according to one's

activities of life. And after finishing one term of activities, one

has to die to take birth for the next. In this way the cycle of birth

and death is revolving, one after the other, without liberation. This

cycle of birth and death does not, however, support unnecessary

murder, slaughter and war. But at the same time, violence and war are

inevitable factors in human society for keeping law and order. The

Battle of Kuruksetra, being the will of the Supreme, was an

inevitable event, and to fight for the right cause is the duty of a

ksatriya Why should he be afraid of, or aggrieved at, the death of

his relatives, since he was discharging his proper duty? He did not

deserve to break the law, thereby becoming subjected to the reactions

of sinful acts, of which he was so afraid. By ceasing from the

discharge of his proper duty, he would not be able to stop the death

of his relatives, and he would be degraded on account of his

selection of the wrong path of action.

Text 28

All created beings are unmanifest in their beginnings, manifest in

their interim state, and unmanifest again when they are annihilated.

So what need is there for lamentation?

Text 29

Some look on the soul as amazing, some describe him as amazing, and

some hear of him as amazing, while others, even after hearing about

him, cannot understand him at all.

Text 30

0 descendant of Bharata, he who dwells in the body is. eternal and

can never be slain. Therefore you need not grieve for any creature.
