Bhagavad Gita Chapter 2, Verse 21

वेदाविनाशिनं नित्यं य एनमजमव्ययम् | कथं स पुरुषः पार्थ कं घातयति हन्ति कम् ||

vedāvināśinaṁ nityaṁ ya enam ajam avyayam kathaṁ sa puruṣaḥ pārtha kaṁ ghātayati hanti kam

One who knows this to be indestructible, eternal, unborn, and imperishable—how can such a person, O Partha, kill or cause anyone to be killed?

Krishna poses a powerful question: if you truly know the soul is indestructible (avināśinam), eternal (nityam), unborn (ajam), and imperishable (avyayam)—not just intellectually but through direct realization—how can you believe you're destroying anyone? This addresses Arjuna's paralysis: his guilt over 'ending souls.' Krishna isn't saying violence doesn't matter. Physical harm is real. But spiritual annihilation? Impossible. You can damage the vehicle—body, ego, circumstances—but not the consciousness within. For Arjuna, this resolves his crisis: he can fulfill his duty without existential guilt. For you: stop avoiding necessary actions because you fear 'destroying' someone. You can cause pain and change circumstances, but you cannot destroy what is fundamentally indestructible.
