Killing and Death

Killings and deaths in the Bhagavad-Gita are really strange. Let's just start by saying that in the Gita, there are no such things as killings and death. It souds freaky but true. So why is it my title? Because it is a very important part of the book. As there are no deaths, what happens to us is that there is a reppetitive life cycle. Your physical body dies, and rots, but not your soul. You go into a new body. You go into the body of a child. You start a new lifestyle. 

There is one thing called called Karma, which says that everything you do will return to you, and this Karma has to do a lot with the tye of life you get. If you were a good person; resposible, honest, then you get a better life. As people don't die, then they should never fear death, and that is the main reason why Lord Krishna wants Arjuna to go to the Battle. 

Arjuna doesn't want to battle, he feels greed is filling culture and the people around him. He doesn't want to go to the battle because he doesn't want to kill people. Here's where Lord Krishna starts his preaching. He tells Arjuna that, as people never die, he shouldn't fear going into battle, because for most of them, he's doing a favor in getting them into a new body. Lord Krishna explains the whole system of the life cycle and new bodies, and wants Arjuna to go to the battle. Why? I don0t know why, but there is nothing to worry about "killing people" because they never die. it is really weird and hard to understand at first, but once you get it, it makes sense with the rest of the book.
