Acharya Prashant explains that the battlefield is already set and that Shri Krishna himself tried to avert the war before it began. However, once on the battlefield, the time for peace-making is over, and one must act with the intensity of an eagle rather than a dove. He clarifies that the utterances of sages like Ashtavakra are not mere teachings or instructions but descriptions of a state of being. For a person who is truly thirsty, the mere news of water is enough to make them move; they do not need a user manual or motivation to drink. Similarly, the Upanishads and the words of sages are for those who are burning with peacelessness and are ready to depart from their current state.
