When armies of Yudhishtira andDuryodhana were ready to fight the war at Kurukshetra, having seen Bheeshma Drona and others I will not fight against elders and teachers. 2. So said Arjuna to whom Lord Krishna said Ungrievable are Bheeshma and others, bodies perish but the spirit and soul within the body do not perish. 3. Knowing this self as the supreme-self and knowing Me is that supreme ultimate soul, consider success and nonsuccess with equanimity and perform your responsibility and duty as a leader and governing manager.
