Nothing Is Good – Nothing Is Bad - Prabhupada 0724

He wanted to establish that for right cause there must be fighting. You cannot abolish violence from the world. This is the instruction of Kṛṣṇa in Bhagavad-gītā. If required, violence will be taken. And Kṛṣṇa induced Arjuna to be violent. Arjuna wanted to be nonviolent, but He wanted that, "You should. You must fight. This fight is arranged by Me." So these examples. These are the examples.

Nothing is bad . . . nothing is good if it is not purposeful. That is the whole purpose of teaching Bhagavad-gītā. Nothing is good, nothing is bad. Everything is good, everything is bad in this material world, but we have to see. Just like the common phrase goes, "The end justifies the means." "The end justifies the means." So that is Kṛṣṇa teaching here that He has nothing to gain. He is full in Himself. But just to set examples in the world He was taking part in the fighting because He wanted to establish it that fighting for good cause should not be avoided. That was His mission.
