TRANSLATION The transcendental
qualities are conducive to liberation, whereas the demoniac qualities make
for bondage. Do not worry, O son of Pandu, for you are born with the divine
qualities.
PURPORT Lord Krsna encouraged
Arjuna by telling him that he was not born with demoniac qualities. His
involvement in the fight was not demoniac because he was considering the
pros and cons. He was considering whether respectable persons such as Bhisma
and Drona should be killed or not, so he was not acting under the influence
of anger, false prestige, or harshness. Therefore he was not of the quality
of the demons. For a ksatriya, a military man, shooting arrows at
the enemy is considered transcendental, and refraining from such a duty
is demoniac. Therefore, there was no cause for Arjuna to lament. Anyone
who performs the regulative principles of the different orders of life
is transcendentally situated.
