 Bhagavad Gita Chapter 1 verse 7 verse 8

Verse 7 

O best of the brāhmaṇas, please hear of those who are distinct from us. I tell you of the heroes of my army for your information।।7।।

 अस्माकम्, तु, विशिष्टाः, ये, तान्, निबोध, द्विजोत्तम,

नायकाः, मम, सैन्यस्य, सज्ञार्थम्, तान्, ब्रवीमि, ते।। 7।।

Translate - O Dwijashrestha, now tell us the names of those who are chief in our army, who are the officers of my army; Listen to it, learn it.

It is not appropriate to refer to a commander as bi-superior in an external war. Actually the Gita is a struggle between the two instincts of the heart and there the Guru Drona is the epitome of the practice of duality. As long as we are separated from our Aaradhya by even an inch, Prakriti is present, duality is present. We get inspiration from Guru Dronacharya to conquer this 'Dwi'. It is our partially incomplete knowledge that motivates us to attain complete knowledge. It is not a place of worship, not a temple courtyard. It is a battlefield. There should be a heroic address.

Now who are the chiefs of Asat pravdhis?

Verse 8

Thou art Bhishma, Karna, Kripa and Samitinjaya. Ashvatthama and Vikarna            and also Saumadatt।।8।।

 भवान्, भीष्मः, च, कर्णः, च, कृपः, च, समितिजयः,

अश्वत्थामा, विकर्णः, च, सौमदत्तिः, तथा, एव, च।।8।।

 

Translate - One is you yourself (Dronacharya as the embodiment of duality). Bharramupi - Suspicious patriarch is 'Bhishma'. Illusion is the source of these disorders and remains alive till the end; So he is Pitamah. Even if all the army died, this one was alive. was lying unconscious on the bed; But he was still alive. So Bhishma is an illusion. Similarly there are 'Kripacharyas' (on our side) who are always victorious in asat karmarupi Karna and Sangrama. The act of grace done by the seeker in the state of Sadhana is Kripacharya. The Lord is merciful, He is the abode of grace. After its attainment, the saint's form also becomes similarly kanwalu. But as long as we live apart from the Lord in this sadhana period, He is also far away from us, separate. The false instinct is alive, it is wrapped in delusion. In such a situation, if the seeker acts with kindness, he is destroyed.
