War
War in the Bhagavad Gita — 2 verses across Chapter 1, including 1.22, 1.28. Sanskrit, Hindi, English. One reel per verse.
v1.22· Arjun
Arjun asked to see the enemy. He didn't know he was looking at his own family.
Let me see them — these men who stand here eager for war. With whom must I fight? He still thought it was a question about strategy.
“Sometimes the hardest battle is realizing who you're fighting.”
— Krishna
v1.28· Arjun
He called them "evil." Five verses later he called them "my own people." What changed?
Five verses ago he called them evil. Now he calls them my own people. His limbs are sinking. His mouth is drying up. The warrior's body is betraying him.
“The body knows before the mind does. Listen when it speaks.”
— Krishna
