tasmat sarvani bhutani na tvam socitum arhasi

O descendant of Bharata(Arjuna)! This sould which dwells in the body of living beings is eternal and can never be slain. Therefore you need not grieve for any creature.

Purport

After explaining the secrets of soul and life, Bhagvan Shri Krishna reminded Arjuna of his natural duty. He is a kshatriyas and to fight to protect dharm, humanity and justice is his natural duty. It is a great honour for any Kshatriya to get such chance. Therefore he should not hesitate to perform his natural duty.
