śhrī bhagavān uvācha aśhochyān-anvaśhochas-tvaṁ prajñā-vādānśh cha bhāṣhase gatāsūn-agatāsūnśh-cha nānuśhochanti paṇḍitāḥ

Meaning

The Blessed Lord said, "Bro, you're stressing over people you shouldn't even be stressing over. But, you're dropping some truth bombs. Wise people don't even sweat the living or the dead."

Commentary

Yo, the Gita's whole vibe starts right here. Don't sweat Bhishma and Drona, fam. They're like, totally immortal and righteous AF. Even though you're spittin' some serious wisdom, you're tripping if you're stressing over peeps who are basically eternal and don't need your pity party. Real Gs, people who are enlightened, don't even trip about the living or the dead 'cause they know the soul is immortal and doesn't even get born or die. It's not even a thing. Death? It's just the astral body bouncing from the physical, matter breaking down, elements returning to their source. Arjuna, you're buggin'. You forgot the soul's eternal, the body's temporary. You're acting like your fam and teachers are permanent, but that's not how it works. These relationships are all about past karma, and when that's done, it's done. New relationships pop up when you get a new body. It's all about prarabdha karma, the karma that made this life happen.
