KOMENTARAS: Kiekvienas Viešpačiui nuoširdžiai pasiaukojęs žmogus turi visas gerąsias savybes, kurios būdingos dievotoms asmenybėms arba pusdieviams, o štai nebhaktui, nepaisant visų jo materialių savybių, įgytų mokslu bei išsiauklėjimu – gerų savybių stinga. Pamačius kautynių lauke savo gentainius, draugus bei artimuosius, Arjunos širdį suspaudė gailestis tiems, kurie pasiryžo kovoti tarpusavy. Dėl savo karių jis nerimavo nuo pradžių, bet dabar gailisi net priešų, nuspėdamas neišvengiamą jų žūtį. Nuo tokių minčių sudrebėjo jo kūnas, perdžiūvo burna. Jį nustebino priešininkų karingumas. Iš tikrųjų prieš Arjuną pakilo visa bendruomenė, visi kraujo giminaičiai. Tai sukrėtė Arjuną – geraširdį bhaktą. Nors šiame posme apie tai neužsiminta, nesunku įsivaizduoti, kad Arjuną krėtė ne tik drebulys, džiūvo burna, bet ir iš akių ritosi gailesčio ašaros. Tokia Arjunos reakcija rodo ne silpnumą, bet jautrią širdį – savybę būdingą tyram Viešpaties bhaktui. Todėl pasakyta:

Any man who has genuine devotion to the Lord has all the good qualities which are found in godly persons or in the demigods, whereas the nondevotee, however advanced he may be in material qualifications by education and culture, lacks in godly qualities. As such, Arjuna, just after seeing his kinsmen, friends and relatives on the battlefield, was at once overwhelmed by compassion for them who had so decided to fight amongst themselves. As far as his soldiers were concerned, he was sympathetic from the beginning, but he felt compassion even for the soldiers of the opposite party, foreseeing their imminent death. And while he was so thinking, the limbs of his body began to quiver, and his mouth became dry. He was more or less astonished to see their fighting spirit. Practically the whole community, all blood relatives of Arjuna, had come to fight with him. This overwhelmed a kind devotee like Arjuna. Although it is not mentioned here, still one can easily imagine that not only were Arjuna’s bodily limbs quivering and his mouth drying up, but he was also crying out of compassion. Such symptoms in Arjuna were not due to weakness but to his softheartedness, a characteristic of a pure devotee of the Lord. It is said therefore:

yasyāsti bhaktir bhagavaty akiñcanā
sarvair guṇais tatra samāsate surāḥ
harāv abhaktasya kuto mahad-guṇā
mano-rathenāsati dhāvato bahiḥ

„Tas, kuris su nepalaužiamu pasiaukojimu tarnauja Dievo Asmeniui, turi visas gerąsias pusdievių savybes. O žmogus, kuris nėra Viešpaties bhaktas, pasižymi tik materialiomis savybėmis, bet jos, kaip žinia, menkavertės. Taip yra dėl to, kad jis blaškosi proto lygyje ir pasmerktas tapti materialios energijos blizgesio auka.“ (SB 5.18.12)

“One who has unflinching devotion for the Personality of Godhead has all the good qualities of the demigods. But one who is not a devotee of the Lord has only material qualifications that are of little value. This is because he is hovering on the mental plane and is certain to be attracted by the glaring material energy.” (Bhāg. 5.18.12)
