A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada

I can find no means to drive away this grief which is drying up my senses. I will not be able to dispel it even if I win a prosperous, unrivaled kingdom on earth with sovereignty like the demigods in heaven.

Rāmānuja

2.6 - 2.8 If you say, 'After beginning the war, if we withdraw from the battle, the sons of Dhrtarastra will slay us all forcibly', be it so. I think that even to be killed by them, who do not know the difference between righteousness and unrighteousness, is better for us than gaining unrighteous victory by killing them. After saying so, Arjuna surrendered himself at the feet of the Lord, overcome with dejection, saying. 'Teach me, your disciple, who has taken refuge in you, what is good for me.'

Commentary · English

A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada

Although Arjuna was putting forward so many arguments based on knowledge of the principles of religion and moral codes, it appears that he was unable to solve his real problem without the help of the spiritual master, Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa. He could understand that his so-called knowledge was useless in driving away his problems, which were drying up his whole existence; and it was impossible for him to solve such perplexities without the help of a spiritual master like Lord Kṛṣṇa. Academic knowledge, scholarship, high position, etc., are all useless in solving the problems of life; help can be given only by a spiritual master like Kṛṣṇa. Therefore, the conclusion is that a spiritual master who is one hundred percent Kṛṣṇa conscious is the bona fide spiritual master, for he can solve the problems of life. Lord Caitanya said that one who is a master in the science of Kṛṣṇa consciousness, regardless of his social position, is the real spiritual master. kibā vipra, kibā nyāsī, śūdra kene naya yei kṛṣṇa-tattva-vettā, sei ‘guru’ haya “It does not matter whether a person is a vipra [learned scholar in Vedic wisdom], or is born in a lower family, or is in the renounced order of life – if he is a master in the science of Kṛṣṇa, he is the perfect and bona fide spiritual master.” ( Caitanya-caritāmṛta, Madhya 8.128) So without being a master in the science of Kṛṣṇa consciousness, no one is a bona fide spiritual master. It is also said in the Vedic literature: ṣaṭ-karma-nipuṇo vipro mantra-tantra-viśāradaḥ avaiṣṇavo gurur na syād vaiṣṇavaḥ śva-paco guruḥ “A scholarly brāhmaṇa, expert in all subjects of Vedic knowledge, is unfit to become a spiritual master without being a Vaiṣṇava, or expert in the science of Kṛṣṇa consciousness. But a person born in a family of a lower caste can become a spiritual master if he is a Vaiṣṇava, or Kṛṣṇa conscious.” ( Padma Purāṇa ) The problems of material existence – birth, old age, disease and death – cannot be counteracted by accumulation of wealth and economic development. In many parts of the world there are states which are replete with all facilities of life, which are full of wealth and economically developed, yet the problems of material existence are still present. They are seeking peace in different ways, but they can achieve real happiness only if they consult Kṛṣṇa, or the Bhagavad-gītā and Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam – which constitute the science of Kṛṣṇa – through the bona fide representative of Kṛṣṇa, the man in Kṛṣṇa consciousness. If economic development and material comforts could drive away one’s lamentations for family, social, national or international inebrieties, then Arjuna would not have said that even an unrivaled kingdom on earth or supremacy like that of the demigods in the heavenly planets would be unable to drive away his lamentations. He sought, therefore, refuge in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, and that is the right path for peace and harmony. Economic development or supremacy over the world can be finished at any moment by the cataclysms of material nature. Even elevation into a higher planetary situation, as men are now seeking on the moon planet, can also be finished at one stroke. The Bhagavad-gītā confirms this: kṣīṇe puṇye martya-lokaṁ viśanti. “When the results of pious activities are finished, one falls down again from the peak of happiness to the lowest status of life.” Many politicians of the world have fallen down in that way. Such downfalls only constitute more causes for lamentation. Therefore, if we want to curb lamentation for good, then we have to take shelter of Kṛṣṇa, as Arjuna is seeking to do. So Arjuna asked Kṛṣṇa to solve his problem definitely, and that is the way of Kṛṣṇa consciousness.

Swami Chinmayananda

।।2.8।। यहाँ अर्जुन संकेत करता है कि उसे तत्काल ही मार्गदर्शन की आवश्यकता है जिसके अभाव में उसे आन्तरिक पीड़ा को सहन करना पड़ रहा है। वह पीड़ा के कारण को व्यक्त करने में असमर्थ अनुभव कर रहा है। यह शोक उसकी ज्ञानेन्द्रियों पर भी प्रभाव डाल रहा है। वह न ठीक से देख सकता है और न सुन सकता है।किसी भी विचारशील व्यक्ति के लिये यह स्वाभाविक है कि किसी समस्या के आने पर उसको हल करने के लिये अधीर हो उठेे। वह समस्या को शीघ्र हल करके शांति प्राप्त करना चाहता है। बेचारे अर्जुन ने अपनी बुद्धि द्वारा समस्या हल करने का बहुत प्रयत्न किया किन्तु वह सफल नहीं हो सका। जैसा कि उसके शब्दों से स्पष्ट है कि अब उसका दुख भौतिक वस्तुओं को प्राप्त करने के लिये नहीं है क्योंकि वह स्वयं कहता है कि समस्त पृथ्वी अथवा स्वर्ग का राज्य प्राप्त करने से भी उसका दुख निवृत्त नहीं हो सकता है।अब अर्जुन की स्थिति एक तीव्र मुमुक्ष के समान है जो र्मत्य जीवन की समस्त सीमाओं और बन्धनों से मुक्त हो जाने के लिये अधीर हो उठा है। अब आवश्यकता है केवल एक प्रामाणिक विचार की जो स्वयं भगवान हृषीकेश उसे गीता के दिव्य काव्य में देते हैं।

Swami Ramsukhdas

2.8।। व्याख्या-- [अर्जुन सोचते हैं कि भगवान् ऐसा समझते होंगे कि अर्जुन युद्ध करेगा तो उसकी विजय होगी, और विजय होनेपर उसको राज्य मिल जायगा, जिससे उसके चिन्ता-शोक मिट जायँगे और संतोष हो जायगा। परन्तु शोकके कारण मेरी ऐसी दशा हो गयी है कि विजय होनेपर भी मेरा शोक दूर हो जाय--ऐसी बात मैं नहीं देखता।] 'अवाप्य भूमावसपत्नमृद्धं राज्यम्'-- अगर मेरेको धनधान्यसे सम्पन्न और निष्कण्टक राज्य मिल जाय अर्थात् जिस राज्यमें प्रजा खूब सुखी हो, प्रजाके पास खूब धन-धान्य हो, किसी चीजकी कमी न हो और राज्यमें कोई वैरी भी न हो--ऐसा राज्य मिल जाय, तो भी मेरा शोक दूर नहीं हो सकता।'सुराणामपि चाधिपत्यम्'-- इस पृथ्वीके तुच्छ भोगोंवाले राज्यकी तो बात ही क्या, इन्द्रका दिव्य भोगोंवाला राज्य भी मिल जाय, तो भी मेरा शोक, जलन, चिन्ता दूर नहीं हो सकती।अर्जुनने पहले अध्यायमें यह बात कही थी कि मैं न विजय चाहता हूँ, न राज्य चाहता हूँ और न सुख ही चाहता हूँ; क्योंकि उस राज्यसे क्या होगा? उन भोगोंसे क्या होगा? और उस जीनेसे क्या होगा? जिनके लिये हम राज्य, भोग एवं सुख चाहते हैं, वे ही मरनेके लिये सामने खड़े हैं (1। 3233)। यहाँ अर्जुन कहते हैं कि पृथ्वीका धन-धान्य-सम्पन्न और निष्कण्टक राज्य मिल जाय, तथा देवताओंका आधिपत्य मिल जाय तो भी मेरा शोक दूर नहीं हो सकता, मैं उनसे सुखी नहीं हो सकता। वहाँ (1। 3233 में) तो कौटुम्बिक ममताकी वृत्ति ज्यादा होनेसे अर्जुनकी युद्धसे उपरति हुई है, पर यहाँ उनकी जो उपरति हो रही है, वह अपने कल्याणकी वृत्ति पैदा होनेसे हो रही है। अतः वहाँकी उपरति और यहाँकी उपरतिमें बहुत अन्तर है। 'न हि प्रपश्यामि ममापनुद्याद्यच्छोकमुच्छोषणमिन्द्रियाणाम्'-- जब कुटुम्बियोंके मरनेकी आशंकासे ही मेरेको इतना शोक हो रहा है, तब उनके मरनेपर मेरेको कितना शोक होगा! अगर मेरेको राज्यके लिये ही शोक होता तो वह राज्यके मिलनेसे मिट जाता; परन्तु कुटुम्बके नाशकी आशंकासे होनेवाला शोक राज्यके मिलनेसे कैसे मिटेगा? शोकका मिटना तो दूर रहा, प्रत्युत शोक और बढ़ेगा; क्योंकि युद्धमें सब मारे जायँगे तो मिले हुए राज्यको कौन भोगेगा? वह किसके काम आयेगा? अतः पृथ्वीका राज्य और स्वर्गका आधिपत्य मिलनेपर भी इन्द्रियोंको सुखानेवाला मेरा शोक दूर नहीं हो सकता। सम्बन्ध-- प्राकृत पदार्थोंके प्राप्त होनेपर भी मेरा शोक दूर हो जाय, यह मैं नहीं देखता हूँ--ऐसा कहनेके बादअर्जुनने क्या किया इसका वर्णन सञ्जय आगेके श्लोकमें करते हैं।
