defend myself. I will wait here for death."
Krishna: "What is this mad and shameful weakness? Stand up and fight!"
Dhritarashtra: "What is Krishna doing?"
Sanjaya: "He's speaking to Arjuna. He's telling Arjuna that victory
and defeat are the same. He's urging him to act, but not to reflect on
the fruit of the act. He says to him: Seek detachment, fight without
desire. You must act, yet action mustn't dominate you. In the heart of
action, you must remain free from all attachment."
Yes, I have seen this version of the mahābhārata . The words that you begin your post comes from chapter 1, 29th verse of the bhāgavad gītā.
