Verse 2.6

Reflect on this shlok

न चैतद्विद्मः कतरन्नो गरीयो यद्वा जयेम यदि वा नो जयेयुः। यानेव हत्वा न जिजीविषाम स्तेऽवस्थिताः प्रमुखे धार्तराष्ट्राः।।2.6।।


Meaning

We do not know which of the two is better for us: whether our vanquishing them or their vanquishing us. The very sons of Dhrtarastra, whom, if we were to slay, we would not wish to live, even they are standing in array against us.

Essence

This verse offers a lens for reflection, duty, and a wiser way to live.

A life example

Bring this teaching into one decision today with awareness and compassion.
