   The genuine military class oath of duty is to simply protect people's lives   
   and property by fighting for peace. However, complicated a conflict maybe it   
   is absolute truth that violence can only be covered by a lie and that lie can   
   only be maintained by    
   further violence. Therefore, anyone who proclaims violence as their method   
   must take the lie as their principle.   
      
   Violence and war mean absence of higher knowledge of spiritual reality   
   distinguished from illusion for the ultimate welfare of all people. All men   
   are of one human race as such there is no actual conflict of interest only   
   misunderstandings based on    
   sectarian material differences in economics, language, race, religion, and   
   geography. Those material differences are material attachments to sinful lust,   
   anger, and greed to lord over other people for material gain, political power,   
   and wealth.   
      
   Nations must rid themselves of lust, anger, and greed because these are the   
   gates leading to hell. Contrary to popular belief there is no such thing as   
   religious wars only irreligious wars to steal other people lives and property.   
   The only religious wars    
   are fought in self-defense.   
      
   O PÄ�rtha, happy are the ká¹£atriyas to whom such fighting opportunities come   
   unsought, opening for them the doors of the heavenly planets. Bhagavad-Gita   
   2.32   
      
   PURPORT   
   As supreme teacher of the world, Lord Kṛṣṇa condemns the attitude of   
   Arjuna who said, "I do not find any good in this fighting. It will cause   
   perpetual habitation in hell." Such statements by Arjuna were due to ignorance   
   only. He wanted to become    
   nonviolent in the discharge of his specific duty. For a ká¹£atriya to be in   
   the battlefield and to become nonviolent is the philosophy of fools. In the   
   ParÄ�Å›ara-smá¹›ti or religious codes made by ParÄ�Å›ara, the great sage and   
   father of VyÄ�sadeva, it    
   is stated:   
      
   ká¹£atriyo hi prajÄ� raká¹£an Å›astra-pÄ�ṇiḥ pradaṇḠ  
   ayan   
   nirjitya parasainyÄ�di ká¹£itiá¹� dharmeṇa pÄ�layet   
      
      
   "The ká¹£atriya's duty is to protect the citizens from all kinds of   
   difficulties, and for that reason he has to apply violence in suitable cases   
   for law and order. Therefore he has to conquer the soldiers of inimical kings,   
   and thus, with religious    
   principles, he should rule over the world."   
      
   Considering all aspects, Arjuna had no reason to refrain from fighting. If he   
   should conquer his enemies, he would enjoy the kingdom; and if he should die   
   in the battle, he would be elevated to the heavenly planets whose doors were   
   wide open to him.    
   Fighting would be for his benefit in either case.
