Purport

After explaining Arjuna’s about the correct course of his duty, Bhagvan then explains Arjuna as a warrior how he can fight without incurring sins.

Bhagvan Shri Krishna told that Arjuna should fight this war for the sake of war and not for his person wishes or preferences. He should fight this war for the greater interest of society keeping equipoised in all situation whether victory or defeat, gain or loss or happiness or sadness. This way he will be free from any reaction of war, He would not incur any sin.
