Objaśnienie

This verse is a hinge in the chapter. Krishna asks Arjuna to treat pleasure and pain, gain and loss, victory and defeat as equal, and only then to engage in battle. Acting in this way, he will not incur wrongdoing. Here the focus shifts from the results of fighting to the attitude of the one who fights. The idea of evenness (samatva), which becomes central to the Gita's teaching on yoga, appears for the first time as practical guidance.
