TRANSLATION
The
Blessed Lord said: While speaking learned words, you are mourning for
what is not worthy of grief. Those who are wise lament neither for the
living nor the dead.
PURPORT
The
Lord at once took the position of the teacher and chastised the
student, calling him, indirectly, a fool. The Lord said, "You are
talking like a learned man, but you do not know that one who is
learned--one who knows what is body and what is soul--does not lament
for any stage of the body, neither in the living nor in the dead
condition." As it will be explained in later chapters, it will be clear
that knowledge means to know matter and spirit and the controller of
both. Arjuna argued that religious principles should be given more
importance than politics or sociology, but he did not know that
knowledge of matter, soul and the Supreme is even more important than
religious formularies. And, because he was lacking in that knowledge, he
should not have posed himself as a very learned man. As he did not
happen to be a very learned man, he was consequently lamenting for
something which was unworthy of lamentation. The body is born and is
destined to be vanquished today or tomorrow; therefore the body is not
as important as the soul. One who knows this is actually learned, and
for him there is no cause for lamentation, regardless of the condition
of the material body.
