your enemies' mill utter many unspeakable words, decrying your prowess. Could anything be sadder than that?
They will shout," Arjuna has fled from here in fright". If this public opprobrium persists, will that be good for you? People win fame, O Arjuna, with great effort, even at the risk of their life. You have earned without effort and obstacles fame, which is unlimited like the sky (206-210). You have gained unbounded and unparalleled reputation, and your virtues are regarded as excellent by the three worlds. Even far-off kings sing your praises like bards; and after hearing them even the God of death is alarmed. Your great glory is as pure as the water of the Ganges; and its report astounds the great warriors of the world. After hearing your marvelous prowess, the Kauravas have lost all hopes of survival. Just as after hearing the lion's roar, even rutting elephants think the world-dissolution to be near, so you inspire dread in the minds of all Kauravas.

As the mountain rates the thunderbolt or the snake the eagle, so the Kauravas appraise you likewise. If you now withdraw from this war without fighting, you will lose all your greatness and lower yourself in their eyes. Even if you wish to run away from here, they will prevent you from doing so. They will seize you, dishonour you and malign you in every way. Instead of letting your heart split in shame at that time, why not put up a brave fight now and enjoy the kingdom of the world by conquering them?

that's yet another verse, Can we say Lord Krishna is taking Arjuna from Subtle aspects of Spirituality to its Grosser and Practical aspects?

Just like the Sun is always there, but for practical purposes, we have to admit, Sun Rise and Sun Set... such a methodology...

there is nothing sad in this question. lord sri Krishna reminded Arjuna in the war field about his duty, i.e. to fight against the foes.
so Bhagavads Gita considered as a gospel of god not only to Arjuna in the war, but also to all humans in their lives for generations.

On the news the other night there was a story about a woman who used her 2 month old infant to bludgen her husband with, she managed to put both of them in the hospital. The baby had multible fractures of the face and head, not to mention broken arms and legs and the father had a broken neck and head wounds.
In my humble opinion, THIS is much, much sadder.

Perhaps a sadder thing is to confirm the enemies unspeakable words. Better to die standing, smiling at death than with one's head under the covers, whimpering for a few more seconds of wretched existence.

Ah - verbosity. Don't you just love it? Now, what is it you are required to know from what you asked, if indeed, you asked anything at all.
