There was no
calculable possibility of Pandavas winning to start with. If he just went by equations, he
would not have been able to fight fully because there was no predictable victory for the
Pandavas. Krishna has been Arjunas sakha
(friend) long before Gita happened. He could have told Arjuna about nishkam karma before,
while Arjuna was in training.
No, that was not the time. Arjuna had to have the training.
He had to go through the rigors of life. Once he was ready to take off, the ultimate
formula was given.
In the real world and in real life, life does not start
with Nishkam karma. That is a possibility.
That is the best. It is important to under stand this
issue. When one is full of desires inside and always is looking for results, it is not
appropriate of talking about Nishkam Karma.
It is appropriate to know and understand the Sakam Karma as
it is and then work towards Nishkam Karma.
