The Lord begins not with weapons but with the healing of the spirit: "mā viṣāde manaḥ kṛthāḥ," "do not give way to despair." And the ground of this consolation is the truth about Time: "kālaḥ sarvāṇi bhūtāni niyacchati pare vidhau," Time governs all by the higher law. It is significant that before granting strength, Krishna grants vision: everything lies in the hand of a higher order. The verse teaches that despair is healed not first by action but by right vision: remembering that all is subject to Time and to the higher law, a man is freed from despondency — and only then is he able to receive and use what is given.
