Passage 9

On the Gītā: 2.11

Tap any word for its meaning.

In plain words

“Arjuna! Think a little about who you are and what you are doing. You say you know everything, and yet you wail and weep like women. Your words are a paṇḍita’s words; your doings are an unlettered man’s. Going by your words one would take you for a jñāni; going by your doings one has to fear you are an ajñāni. Looking at your state, there is no making it out. Well, if we say you are indeed a paṇḍita, paṇḍitas do not grieve over death and life, and must not. If they grieve like this, they are not paṇḍitas.
