understanding is confounded by the dictates of my Duty, and I can discover nothing that will give peace to the fever of mind which burneth within me, and drieth up my faculties. Even though I should gain a kingdom on earth, surpassing all other earthly kingdoms, even as the sun surpasseth the stars -- nay, even though I were to gain dominion over the Hosts of Heaven, my grief would not be assuaged."

"Nay, nay, I will not fight--- I will not fight."

And, saying these words Arjuna became silent. But Krishna, smiling most tenderly upon the despondent prince, standing, cast down in mind, in the midst of the two armies, spake unto him these words:

"Thou grievest for those who need not thy grief, Arjuna, yet thy words are not those of the foolish, but bear within them the seeds of wisdom. Thy utterances have a wise sound, but yet express only the outer wisdom, and fail to show the flower of the inner doctrine of the wise. They are true, and yet not wholly true --- the half-truth is apparent --- but the missing half is the deeper portion.
