Shrimad Bhagwat Geeta Chapter 2 shlok 6

In the profound saga of Mahabharata, where dilemmas unfold, Arjuna, in contemplation deep, his inner turmoil told. To defeat the Kauravas or face defeat’s bitter cost, Both paths seemed like defeat, a dilemma hard to exhaust.

Bheeshma, Dronacharya, Kripacharya, and more, On the side of the unrighteous, they chose to implore. Arthakām, tied to wealth and power’s embrace, Their allegiance tainted, a fall from grace.

The war’s consequence, a moral decree, To confront those fallen, to set righteousness free. Bheeshma, once noble, admitted with remorse, A teacher’s ignoble acts, fit for abandonment, of course.

In the sacred verses of Śhrīmad Bhāgavatam, we find, Bheeshma’s devotion to Krishna, a tale enshrined. Master of senses, chivalry’s embodiment, Generosity personified, in every event.

A knower of Absolute Truth, his life’s sacred vow, To speak only truth, his commitment, here and now. In the cosmic play, a character profound, Bheeshma’s virtues, in the scriptures, resound.

The war, a stage where dharma and adharma collide, Bheeshma’s allegiance tested, on the unrighteous side. Yet, a devotee true, with Krishna in his heart, A paradoxical role, a divine counterpart.

In the aftermath, Bheeshma’s wisdom revealed, A teacher who strays, a path to be repealed. His sacrifice, a lesson in the cosmic plan, A devotee’s journey, the tale of Bheeshma, the wise man.
