On the Kuru Field of Justice

Gandhi:
“I see them here assembled, ready to fight, seeking to please the King’s sinful son by waging
war.” And thus addressed by Arjuna, Krishna
brought that splendid chariot to a halt between
the two armies. In front of Bhisma and Drona
and all the rulers of the world, he said, “Behold
Arjuna, these kinsmen assembled here.” And
the Prince marked on each hand relatives and
friends in both armies. Seeing them, all his kinsmen, thus arrayed, Arjuna was filled with deep
compassion and turned to Krishna.

Arjuna:
My very being is oppressed with compassion’s
harmful taint. With mind perplexed concerning
right and wrong I ask you which is the better
course? Tell me and let your words be definite
and clear, I am your pupil and put all my trust
in you. So teach me.

Krishna:
Be wise in matters of death and duty. See in this
war presented by pure chance a door to paradise.
For sure is death to all that’s born, sure is birth
to all that dies and for this, you have no cause to
grieve. Likewise, recognize this war as prescribed
by duty. Hold pleasure and pain, profit and loss,
victory and defeat to be the same: then brace
yourself ready for the fight. So will you bring no
evil on yourself.

chorus:
To him thus in compassion plunged, to him desponding, Krishna spoke these words: “Whence
comes this faintness on you now at this crisis
hour? This ill beseems a noble, wins a heavenly
state, but brings dishonour, Arjuna. Give up
this vile faint heartedness. Stand up, chastiser of
your foes!”

Gandhi:
Hold pleasure and pain, profit and loss, victory
and defeat to be the same: then brace yourself
ready for the fight. So will you bring no evil on
yourself.
