Acharya Prashant explains that when Shri Krishna states that whatever happened was good and whatever will happen will be good, he is not using the word 'good' in the conventional or moral sense. For Shri Krishna, goodness is synonymous with godliness and truth. He explains that the past and future both arise from the same center, which is the great present. All time is merely a manifestation of the timeless, and all happenings contain a non-happening at their center. To see this truth is the only real good. He encourages Arjun to appreciate the timeless within time, living in such a way that the mind remains untouched by external changes like war, peace, birth, or death. In Shri Krishna's vocabulary, 'bad' is simply an illusion or the delusion of not seeing the good. When one approaches the seemingly bad with faith and attention, it reveals itself as the good.
