Bhagavad Gita · Chapter 1: Arjuna's Despair
Bhagavad Gita 1.31
निमित्तानि च पश्यामि विपरीतानि केशव ।
न च श्रेयोऽनुपश्यामि हत्वा स्वजनमाहवे ॥
nimittāni ca paśyāmi viparītāni keśava | na ca śreyo'nupaśyāmi hatvā svajanamāhave ||
I see ill omens, Krishna, and I can see no good in killing my own people in battle.
Modern context
First the body shook; now the mind begins to supply reasons. Arjuna sees bad omens everywhere. A frightened mind finds signs that confirm what it already feels. It helps to notice which came first, the feeling or the argument.
