  • 作曲 : Wooten
    So Arjuna and Krishna you know they're hanging out on the battlefield
    Arjuna is like tired of war, he's trying to get out of this battle
    So Krishna drops a little science on him, he says you know it's the way of
    Spiritual growth
    A man must go forth from where he stands
    He cannot jump to the absolute, he must evolve toward it (can you hear that)
    Krishna says at any given moment in time we are what we are
    Arjuna we have to accept the consequences of being ourselves
    And only through this acceptance can we begin to evolve further
    We may select the battleground but we cannot avoid the battle
    So Krishna tells Arjuna it follows therefore that every action under certain
    Circumstances and for certain people may actually be a stepping stone to
    Spiritual growth
    Arjuna is to do the best he knows
    In order to pass beyond that best to better
    How can we prescribe our neighbors to be perfect
    When it is so hard to know our own heart
    The pacifist must respect Arjuna
    Arjuna must respect the pacifist.
    Both are going toward the same goal
    If they are really sincere
    There's an underlying solidarity between them
    Which can be expressed
    Each one follows without compromise the path upon which he finds himself
    For we can only help others to do their duty
    By doing what we ourselves believe to be right
    It is the one supremely social act.
    So Kirshna's reply to Arjuna occupies the rest of the story
    It deals not only with Arjuna's immediate personal problem
    But the whole nature of action
    The meaning of life
    And the aims for which man must struggle here on earth
    At the end of the conversation Arjuna has changed his mind
    He's ready to fight, he's ready to go ahead on
    It is the way of spiritual growth
    A man must go forward from where he stands
    He cannot jump to the absolute
    And the battle begins...
