English
Whatever action a person begins through body, speech, and mind—right or wrong—has these five causes.
श्लोक का अर्थ
Any action a person starts through body, speech, or mind is driven by five causes, whether the action is proper or improper.
संदर्भ और टिप्पणी
On the Kurukshetra field, Krishna is breaking Arjuna’s usual idea of agency. After naming five causes behind every action, he adds that any deed begun through body, speech, or mind—right or wrong—arises from those causes, not from a single isolated doer.
आज के संदर्भ में
You send the message in anger, then later say, “I just snapped.” Krishna points earlier: the body, words, mind, habits, and conditions were already moving.
सार
You are not the lone maker of your actions; many forces are already at work.
