Bhagavad Gita 11.32
कालोऽस्मि लोकक्षयकृत्प्रवृद्धो लोकान्समाहर्तुमिह प्रवृत्तः। ऋतेऽपि त्वां न भविष्यन्ति सर्वे येऽवस्थिताः प्रत्यनीकेषु योधाः॥
śhrī-bhagavān uvācha kālo ’smi loka-kṣhaya-kṛit pravṛiddho lokān samāhartum iha pravṛittaḥ ṛite ’pi tvāṁ na bhaviṣhyanti sarve ye ’vasthitāḥ pratyanīkeṣhu yodhāḥ
Translation
Time am I, laying desolate the world, Made manifest on earth to slay mankind! Not one of all these warriors ranged for strife Escapeth death; thou shalt alone survive.
What it means
I am Time, the mighty destroyer of the worlds, grown to full power here to annihilate; even without you, all these warriors arrayed shall not live. The answer is the chapter's center: the destroyer is Time itself. The outcome is already written.
Try this today
The answer is the Gita's darkest revelation: the form is Time itself, and the outcome is already accomplished. The battle's result does not depend on Arjuna.
Something to reflect on
If the outcome were already written, what remains for me except consent and action?
