Adhyay 2, shlok 11 of the Bhagavad Gita reads:
श्री भगवानुवाच। अशोच्यानन्वशोचस्त्वं प्रज्ञावादांश्च भाषसे। गतासूनगतासूंश्च नानुशोचंति पण्डिताः।।
This shlok can be transliterated as:
śrī-bhagavān uvāca aśocyān anvaśocas tvaṁ prajñā-vādāṁś ca bhāṣase gatāsūn agatāsūṁś ca nānuśocanti paṇḍitāḥ
To explain the shlok in simple words:
In this shlok, Bhagwan Sri Krishna responds to Arjuna's sadness and confusion by saying that he is grieving for those who should not be grieved for. Krishna tells Arjuna that the wise, learned individuals do not grieve for the living or the dead, as they understand the nature of the soul and its eternal existence.
Krishna also says that Arjuna is speaking like a wise person, but he is lamenting over things that are not worthy of grief. He asks Arjuna to be steadfast and resolute, and to fight for the sake of duty, not for the fruit of the action.
Overall, this shlok emphasizes the importance of understanding the true nature of the soul and the impermanence of the material world. It also highlights the need for detachment and equanimity, and the importance of fulfilling one's duty without attachment to the outcome.
