	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...
