Competition

Competition in the Bhagavad Gita — 2 verses across Chapter 1, including 1.4, 1.7. Sanskrit, Hindi, English. One reel per verse.

v1.4· Duryodhan

He couldn't stop listing the people he was afraid of.

Duryodhan names Bheem, Arjun, and their allies one by one — as if saying the names out loud could shrink them.

The mind that keeps measuring itself against others never measures itself.

— Krishna
v1.7· Duryodhan

After all that — he finally remembered his own army.

Seven verses into listing enemies, Duryodhan remembers: "Now, about the best on OUR side." It took him that long.

You can lose yourself so completely in the other that you forget who you are.

— Krishna
