Erläuterung

Krishna's teaching begins here. He points out a contradiction: Arjuna grieves for those who should not be grieved for, yet speaks in the language of the wise, quoting arguments about family and duty. The learned (paṇḍita), Krishna says, do not grieve for the dead or the living. The claim sounds harsh, but it sets up the question the next verses answer: what is it in a person that does not die? The teaching that follows grounds freedom from grief in an understanding of the self rather than in indifference.
