Well shame as a man of honor is not that good in the Bhagavad Gita, as it says "... and for a man of honor, shame is worse than death." ( 2nd Teaching, verse 33). There is a reason behind that, and it is that the Bhagavad Gita says that no one is ever born or dead. There is a cycle of life, that you get a human for, and live, and then when you die, your body dies, but not your soul. Your soul goes to another human body. So between being ashamed as a man of honor by not going to a battle, and thought to be afraid, then I would rather go to the battle, and be killed, because one never dies. And besides, You might not die in the battle, which would be even better that shame or death.

Death or Shame (following Bhagavad-Gita ideals)
Yes, death is a terrible subject that we all want to avoid talking about and never want it to happen. But eventually, we all die. But shame, that is another topic. There can be a shameful moment in a small place where nobody sees you, but being ashamed in a battlefield could be pretty bad. So today I came with my quest, Shame or death following the Bhagavad Gita.
