It does not become you. Give up such petty weakness of heart and arise, O chastiser of the enemy.
30.05.2013	11	अशोच्यानन्वशोचस्त्वं प्रज्ञावादांश्च भाषसे । गतासूनगतासूंश्च नानुशोचन्ति पण्डिताः II	sri-bhagavan uvaca: asocyan anvasocas tvam  prajna-vadams ca bhasase gatasun agatasums ca nanusocanti panditah	Lord Krishna said: You grieve for those who are not worthy of grief, and yet speak words of wisdom. The wise grieves neither for the living nor for the dead. (2.11)
31.05.2013	12	न त्वेवाहं जातु नासं न त्वं नेमे जनाधिपाः । न चैव न भविष्यामः सर्वे वयमतः परम्	na tv evaham jatu nasam na tvam neme janadhipah na caiva na bhavisyamah sarve vayam atah param	Never was there a time when I did not exist, nor you, nor all these kings; nor in the future shall any of us cease to be.

A self-realized soul is not bewildered by such a change.
02.06.2013	14	मात्रास्पर्शास्तु कौन्तेय शीतोष्णसुखदुःखदाः । आगमापायिनोऽनित्यास्तांस्तितिक्षस्व भारत ॥	matra-sparsas tu kaunteya sitosna-sukha-duhkha-dah agamapayino 'nityas tams titiksasva bharata	O son of Kunti, the nonpermanent appearance of happiness and distress, and their disappearance in due course, is like the appearance and disappearance of winter and summer seasons. They arise from sense perception, O scion of Bharata, and one must learn to tolerate them without being disturbed
03.06.2013	15	यं हि न व्यथयन्त्येते पुरुषं पुरुषर्षभ । समदुःखसुखं धीरं सोऽमृतत्वाय कल्पते ॥२- १५॥	yam hi na vyathayanty ete purusam purusarsabha I sama-duhkha-sukham dhiram so 'mrtatvaya kalpateII 2-15	O best among men [Arjuna], the person who is not disturbed by happiness and distress and is steady in both is certainly eligible for liberation

Nor, having once been, does he ever cease to be. He is unborn, eternal, ever-existing, undying and primeval. He is not slain when the body is slain
09.06.2013	21	वेदाविनाशिनं नित्यं य एनमजमव्ययम् कथं स पुरुषः पार्थ कं घातयति हन्ति कम् ॥	vedavinasinam nityam ya enam ajam avyayam katham sa purusah partha kam ghatayati hanti kam	O Partha, how can a person who knows that the soul is indestructible, unborn, eternal and immutable, kill anyone or cause anyone to kill?
