In the eighteenth and seventeenth teaching, I am once again, overly confused. Many more deep going examples, and all I know is that I am getting more and more tired with each teaching that I read.
There is this saying that states, "Men of lucidity sacrifice to the gods;/men of passion, to spirits and demons;/the others, men of dark inertia,/sacrifice to corpses and to ghosts", and I couldn't help but think, "Is this describing some sort of supernatural, death book?" It's sounding a little dark that one. I figured it was saying that men who worship and sacrifice to the right gods and lead good lives, are light with faith, while the others are sacrificing and worshipping to the dead and are dark inside, mislead, and cruel.
I also realized the two teachings talk a lot about faith. Faith is apparently important. So this is what leads us to the answer of the question that we have all been wanting to know (at least some of us), "Does Arjuna fight?"
The answer to this, is yes. You see, Krishna gave off such great advice, and Arjuna understood everything that was being said to him, that he realized, it would be better to get on out there and fight. He saw he might as well fight because if he didn't, Krishna would go ahead and do the killing. Not to mention, if Arjuna was killed, he knew he would be reincarnated.
