Objaśnienie

Krishna acknowledges the force of nature (prakṛti) in each person. Even the wise behave in keeping with their own temperament, and all beings follow their nature. Forcible repression, nigraha, cannot simply override it. The verse is realistic about human psychology. It does not mean that discipline is useless, as the following verses show, but that suppressing one's nature by sheer force is not the way. In Arjuna's case, his warrior nature will assert itself; the question is whether he acts from it with or without attachment.
