English
Krishna said: Many births of yours and mine have passed, Arjuna. I know them all, but you do not, enemy-burner.
श्लोक का अर्थ
Krishna says that both of them have passed through many births, but only Krishna remembers them all. Arjuna does not remember his own past births.
संदर्भ और टिप्पणी
On the Kurukshetra battlefield, Arjuna questions how Krishna could have taught the ancient sun-god long ago. Krishna answers by shifting the frame: both of them have crossed many births, but only Krishna remembers them fully. The teaching prepares Arjuna for a deeper truth about Krishna's timeless nature.
आज के संदर्भ में
You argue from memory, but the other person sees the whole pattern. In a family conflict, you remember only the last hurt; the deeper story stretches far beyond what you can hold.
सार
It softens pride and confusion: your present view is limited, but reality is larger than what you can recall.
