Perform Your Duties

“There was never a time when I you or these people do not exist.
Wise do not grieve for living or dead”


This verse is taken from holy Gita. In the battlefield Arjuna looking his uncles, grandfathers, brothers, nephews against him in battlefield he was grieved and decided not to fight and simply surrender to them.

Than Krishna said to Arjuna-
O Arjuna you are a warrior and your duty is to fight against the false. You cannot run from your respective duties.

Arjuna said to Krishna that how can he fight against his own teacher and family member, he will not do this terrible act even if he gets three worlds.

Than Krishna said- “There was never a time when I, you or these people do not exist nor we will cease to exist in future.”

Meaning here is that one should always perform his duties and this time he was in battlefield and hence his duty was to fight against evil even the people against him in battlefield was his family or his teachers.

You are soul and not the body and because soul just changes body after body hence today they are your teacher or family but in past you may be there teacher or elder. If you think that by fighting against them you will kill them in battle than you are wrong because soul is immortal and you cannot destroy indestructible soul. It always existed and will always exist and hence you should not grieve for indestructible soul and fight for the reestablishment of truth.
