Further having regard to your duty you should not falter, there is nothing better than a lawful war for a warrior.
Why don't you even now consider it carefully? What are you thinking now? You seem to have become totally forgetful of your duty, which alone can save you (176-180). Even if something worse were to happen to the Kauravas or to yourselves, or even if this world cycle were to come to an end now, there is still your duty, which you should not renounce at any cost. Do you think that this compassion will save you? O Arjuna, that your heart should melt with compassion now is improper at the time of war. If cow's milk, which is good, is not prescribed as part of a diet, it may work like poison to a patient suffering form enteric fever. So if one takes a wrong step at the wrong time, one will go to ruin. So be on your guard (181-185). Why do you worry for no reason?

Why do you worry for no reason? Attend to your duty. If your perform your duty, no blame will attach to you. If a person walks on a beaten track, he will not come to harm; nor is a person who walks in day-light is likely to trip. If a person, O Partha, is Arm in the performance of his duty, he will accomplish all his desires without effort. If you consider it this way, there is nothing more proper for you warriors than a battle like this. You should therefore face your enemies free from guile. Need I say more, this is so self-evident (186-190).

Those words are the words of a predator, pure and simple.

Clamour for food is being heard everywhere, though if each one worked hard, the problem would not arise at all. We talk of stomachs to be filled, but each stomach arrives in the world with two hands. Those hands, if they are kept idle or unskilled, can not fulfil their assignment of finding the food for the stomach. Work hard - that is the message. And share the gain with others. The harder you work, the greater your gain, the more you can share
