PHRASES IN THE GITA - 21
युद्ध्यस्व विगत ज्वरः । (अध्याय ३ - श्लोक ३०)
யுத்யஸ்வ விகத ஜ்வரஹ . (அத்யாயம் 3 - ஸ்லோகம் 30)
Yuddhyasva Vigata Jwarah.. (Chapter 3 - Shlokam 30)
Meaning : Get rid of Fever and fight.
Fever results in high 'body temperature'; Weakens limbs; Stuns thought; Retards or jams action. Fighting may be impossible with fever. As Gita is being spoken on the battle-field, Shri Krishna is using the term 'fighting'. He asks Arjuna to "fight without fever". Shri Rama is the brightest example in this regard. He never lost the smile on his face while he fought Ravana. He did not allow rage, vengeance, hatred etc. to find space in his mind. Shri Atal Behari Vajpeyee is an excellent example of a politician trying to involve in political opposition without hatred in mind. Not only fight on a battle field but any physical work is difficult with fever in the body. Fever must definitely be ridden to be able to fight or work.
Shri Krishna means here not bodily fever, but fever in the mind. Kaama and Krodha, are the two prominent fevers of Mind. Fever in mind has its impact on the body, mind and intellect. Body limbs are weakened. Physical activities are jam med. This develops tight grip over the mind. Or we may say, it possesses the mind. It becomes almost impossible for the mind to enjoy 'beauties and niceties' of life. Thought process is stunned too.
Bodily Fever may or may not leave toxins in the body. Even if it does, the toxins are easily removed. But, Fevers in mind, Kaama and Krodha (Lust and Rage) leave poisons both in the body and mind, that are hard to be removed and erased. Actions when the mind is possessed by these fevers may lead to repentance for the rest of Life. Most crimes committed in the world are while the mind is under possession of these fevers. Most of Jail in-mates, especially the life convicts are those who acted while their minds were possessed by Kaama and Krodha. shri Krishna says, "Yuddhyasva Vigata Jwarah".. "Get rid of Fever and fight"
