श्रीभगवानुवाच | अशोच्यानन्वशोचस्त्वं प्रज्ञावादांश्च भाषसे | गतासूनगतासूंश्च नानुशोचन्ति पण्डिताः ||११||
śhrī bhagavān uvācha aśhochyān anvaśhochas tvaṁ prajñā-vādānśh cha bhāṣhase gatāsūn agatāsūnśh cha nānuśhochanti paṇḍitāḥ
至尊主說：「你說著智慧之言，卻為不值得悲傷的事而悲傷。真正有智慧的人，既不為生者悲傷，也不為死者悲傷。」
The Supreme Lord said: While speaking learned words, you are mourning for what is not worthy of grief. Those who are wise lament neither for the living nor for the dead.
這是奎師那教誨的第一個詩節。他立即挑戰阿周那，指出他雖然口說哲理，卻表現得像無知者一樣悲傷。關鍵詞「paṇḍitāḥ」（真正有智慧的人）強調真正的智慧並非僅是知識，而是對靈魂永恆性的理解。
This is Krishna's first teaching verse. He immediately challenges Arjuna: you speak like a philosopher but grieve like the ignorant. The word "paṇḍitāḥ" (the truly wise) is key — real wisdom is not intellectual knowledge but the understanding that the soul is eternal.
