Here Kṛṣṇa refutes two objections present in Arjuna. The first is thinking that the destruction which befalls bodies befalls the Ātma itself, and grieving for those who are not to be grieved for. This is “and you speak words of wisdom”. He said, “Calling your svadharma adharma, you are cutting learned argument to pieces.” Here there is something readers must note. Two kinds of moha had taken hold of Arjuna: one ordinary moha, the other extraordinary moha. To think the body is the Ātma and superimpose the properties of the body on the Ātma is ordinary moha. To think that war, his svadharma, is adharma: this is extraordinary moha. This was the moha particular to Arjuna. That is why Kṛṣṇa Paramātma rejects the first, the ordinary moha, and removes the second, the extraordinary moha. For ordinary moha He gave the teaching of the Ātma in the second chapter, from the twelfth śloka to the thirtieth; then, in reply to the second, the extraordinary moha, removing that particular moha, He spoke eight ślokas that establish svadharma. These are called the “Dharmāṣṭaka”. After that He taught niṣkāma karma yoga: how that svadharma is to be done so that it becomes a cause not of birth but of Mokṣa. At the close of this second chapter comes the description of the sthitaprajña, the embodiment in visible form. Listen now to Kṛṣṇa’s next discourse.
