COME WHAT MAY – ALWAYS STAY CALM

तस्मात्त्वमुत्तिष्ठ यशो लभस्व

मयैवैते निहताः पूर्वमेव
निमित्तमात्रं भव सव्यसाचिन् || ११ ३३ ||

nimitta-maatram bhava savya-saachin (SBG 11:33)
Therefore, get up and attain glory. Conquer your enemies and enjoy a prosperous kingdom. All these warriors have already been destroyed by Me. You are merely an instrument, O Arjuna the ambidextrous one.

अतः उठो और यश प्राप्त करो। अपने शत्रुओं पर विजय प्राप्त करो और एक समृद्ध राज्य का भोग करो । इन सभी योद्धा मेरे द्वारा पहले ही मारे जा चुके हैं, हे सव्यसाची (उभयहस्त) ! तुम इस युद्ध में केवल एक निमित्तमात्र हो। (SBG 12:15
