Srimad Bhagavad Gita -Ramanujacharya
Chapter-2 Sankhya Yogaḥ
CommentaryYou will then incur not merely the loss of all happiness and honour, but will be the object of contempt by all people. The qualified [critics] and even the unqualified, for the rest of time will ridicule you, saying, 'When the battle began Arjuna ran away.' If it be asked — ‘So what?’, the reply is:— ‘To one who is honoured by all, for courage, prowess, valour, etc., the disgrace arising from being accused of the opposite of these attributes, is worse than death’. In other words it would be better for you to die than to endure such disgrace. |
