"But whoever resists this even in thought alone — anyone at all — it will kill them all, even those who have descended into Rasatala." Having heard this word of Vasudeva's, O Bharata, all of them desired to lay down their weapons, in mind and in deed. Then, noticing them ready to lay down their weapons, the Pandava Bhimasena spoke this word, O king — a word that stirred them up rather than reassured them.

Krishna warns that even mental resistance is fatal — the weapon punishes intention itself. It is telling that salvation demands not only laying down the weapon by hand but surrendering in the heart: outward compliance alone is not enough. The verse teaches that true non-resistance is inward, not merely displayed; and one who lowers his sword while still fighting within is not saved — for the higher power reads not the gesture but the intent.
