Shree Krishna’s Sanskrit Quote on War

This Bhagavad Gita quote stands out the most, showing us a simple and effective way of fighting any battle. While Lord Krishna may have been referring to the situation in the Kurukshetra battle, trying to convince Arjuna to fight with all of his might. The teachings from this Bhagavad Gita quote can be applied to any situation, the world around us is made in such a way that nothing is earned without any struggle, every situation is nothing but a battle with the existing forces.

Indeed, when you are truly impervious to the external things you are in a much better position to deal with any situation. So let yourself be the same state of mind, be it a joy, sorrow or excitement. You can express excitement, sadness or grief, but deep down you should be strong like a rock.
