Erläuterung

Krishna describes two opposing views held by thinkers of his time. Some argue that all action is tainted and should be given up. Others hold that the core religious acts of sacrifice, giving and austerity must never be abandoned. The debate mirrors Arjuna's own dilemma at the start of the dialogue, when he wanted to give up fighting altogether. Krishna presents both positions fairly before stating his own conclusion.
