Purport

Arjuna was a military man, and born of the nature of the kṣatriya. Therefore his natural duty was to fight. But due to false ego he was fearing that by killing his teacher, grandfather and friends he would incur sinful reactions. Actually he was considering himself master of his actions, as if he were directing the good and bad results of such work. He forgot that the Supreme Personality of Godhead was present there, instructing him to fight. That is the forgetfulness of the conditioned soul. The Supreme Personality gives directions as to what is good and what is bad, and one simply has to act in Kṛṣṇa consciousness to attain the perfection of life. No one can ascertain his destiny as the Supreme Lord can; therefore the best course is to take direction from the Supreme Lord and act. No one should neglect the order of the Supreme Personality of Godhead or the order of the spiritual master, who is the representative of God. One should act unhesitatingly to execute the order of the Supreme Personality of Godhead – that will keep one safe under all circumstances.

SMISAO: Arjuna je bio vojnik, rođen s prirodom kṣatriye. Stoga je njegova prirodna dužnost bila da se bori. Međutim, zbog lažnoga ega, bojao se da će ubijanjem svoga učitelja, djeda i prijatelja uzrokovati grešne posljedice. Ustvari, smatrao se gospodarem svojih djela, kao da on određuje dobre ili loše rezultate takva djelovanja. Zaboravio je da je Svevišnji, Božanska Osoba, bio nazočan i nalagao mu da se bori. To je zaboravnost uvjetovane duše. Svevišnja Božanska Osoba poučava nas što je dobro, a što loše. Da bismo dostigli savršenstvo života trebamo jednostavno djelovati u svjesnosti Kṛṣṇe. Nitko ne zna svoju sudbinu, ali Svevišnji Gospodin zna sudbinu svih živih bića. Stoga je najbolje prihvatiti uputu Svevišnje Božanske Osobe ili naredbu duhovnog učitelja, Božjeg predstavnika. Trebamo bez dvojbe izvršiti naredbu Svevišnje Božanske Osobe – tako ćemo biti sigurni u svim okolnostima.
