In plain words
the director and the producer — all of it is one and the same Mādhava. On one side, boundless physical force grown strong through unrighteousness; on the other, the limited strength of the Ātma grown strong through righteousness. What he establishes himself as, in the resulting form of the clash between these two, is the torch of righteous victory. This alone is the whole essence of the nectar of the Bhārata; that itself is the Bhagavad-Gītā. The whole essence of the Mahābhārata is present in the Bhagavad-Gītā. 'Kariṣye vacanaṃ tava' [I shall do as you say] — 'I shall do exactly as you have said' — 'Svadharme nidhanaṃ śreyaḥ' [death in one's own dharma is better] — this alone is the touchstone for the [core] principle of this-worldly life. For those counterfeit 'Brāhmās' who neglect the devotion from which all [true] well-being flows, and who, closing their eyes, suffer under the egotism of claiming 'Ahaṃ Brahmāsmi' [I am Brahman], the [only] result is suffering. If one pounds husk, rice does not result, does it! In reality, Brahman itself is Kṛṣṇa.
