Chapter 1 · Verse 45
Arjuna Visada Yoga
अर्जुनविषादयोग
In plain words
You must feel deep remorse whenever greed and selfish desires tempt you to harm others. It is easy to fall under the spell of maya, the illusion that worldly power and pleasure bring true happiness. Realize how tragic it is to compromise your values and hurt your loved ones just to satisfy temporary, material cravings.
Translation
1.45 Alas! We have resolved to commit a great sin in that we are ready to slay our kith and kin out of desire for sovereignty and enjoyments.
Meaning
