3. CHAPTER-2 SHLOKA-23
The soul can never be cut into
pieces by any weapon, nor can
he be burned by fire, nor
moistened by water, nor
withered by the wind.
4. CHAPTER-2 SHLOKA-27
For one who has taken his birth,
death is certain; and for one who is
dead, birth is certain. Therefore, in
the unavoidable discharge of your
duty, you should not lament.
5. CHAPTER-2 SHLOKA-33
If, however, you do not fight this
religious war, then you will certainly
incur sins for neglecting your duties
and thus lose your reputation as a
fighter.
6. CHAPTER-2 SHLOKA-38
Do thou fight for the sake of
fighting, without considering
happiness or distress, loss or gain,
victory or defeat - and, by so doing,
you shall never incur sin.
7. CHAPTER-2 SHLOKA-47
You have a right to perform your
prescribed duty, but you are not
entitled to the fruits of action.
Never consider yourself to be the
cause of the results of your
activities, and never be attached to
not doing your duty.
8. CHAPTER-2 SHLOKA-51
The wise, engaged in devotional
service, take refuge in the Lord, and
free themselves from the cycle of
birth and death by renouncing the
fruits of action in the material
world. In this way they can attain
that state beyond all miseries.
9. CHAPTER-2 SHLOKA-53
When your mind is no longer
disturbed by the flowery
language of the Vedas, and when
it remains fixed in the trance of
self-realization, then you will
have attained the divine
consciousness.
10. CHAPTER-2 SHLOKA-54
What are the symptoms of one
whose consciousness is thus merged
in Transcendence? How does he
speak, and what is his language?
How does he sit, and how does he
walk?
11. CHAPTER-2 SHLOKA-66
One who is not in transcendental
consciousness can have neither a
controlled mind nor steady
intelligence, without which there
is no possibility of peace. And how
can there be any happiness
without peace?
13. CHAPTER-3 SHLOKA-1
O Janardana, O Kesava, why do You
urge me to engage in this ghastly
warfare, if You think that
intelligence is better than fruitive
work?
14. CHAPTER-3 SHLOKA-4
Not by merely abstaining from work
can one achieve freedom from
reaction, nor by renunciation alone
can one attain perfection.
