Acharya Prashant begins by describing the Bhagavad Gita as a text that reveals the helplessness of Shri Krishna, where weakness is seen lording over strength. He calls the Gita an epic struggle, with Krishna as the struggler. It is a song that tugs at the heartstrings, containing as much melancholy as it does wisdom, which is why he loves the Gita. Acharya Prashant explains that from where Arjun was standing on the battlefield, Shri Krishna could see that the right action for him was to fight. He emphasizes that it was already a battleground and that Shri Krishna himself had tried his utmost to avert the war, even going as a messenger to Duryodhana's court. With all those efforts behind them and the armies facing each other, the demand of the moment and the appropriate action was to fight. Shri Krishna was not advising Arjun to fight at all times or under all circumstances; it was not a universal duty. At that specific moment, the right action was to pick up the bow and arrow and fight. Shri Krishna had even tried to make peace by saying just five villages would be sufficient for the Pandavas, but that was rejected. He clarifies that Shri Krishna does not deal in pre-scripted duties but in the right action for the moment. Before the war, the right action was to try to prevent it. On the battlefield, one cannot act like a peacenik; one must be an eagle, not a dove, and fight. When asked about the dilemma between peace and violence, Acharya Prashant states that peace is not a choice but the only way. However, actions driven by peace may often appear violent. For instance, Shri Krishna is peace personified, yet his action of rushing towards Bhishma to attack him does not appear peaceful. Acharya Prashant further explains that qualities like truth, peace, love, and freedom must never be sought in actions. Truth is an unsaid thing in the heart; one can speak in truth, but never speak the truth. Similarly, love is a silent music in the heart; one can act in love, but love itself can never be the action. We often mistake actions for the inner state because we lack the subtle eye to see the truth. We see someone gifting a teddy bear and call it a loving action, but this is merely copying social norms. The intent is not love itself, but to conform to social expressions of love. If the intent was truly love, one would give what is genuinely needed. The action can originate from love, but one should not judge based on the action alone, as this leads to misreading the situation entirely.
