Demonic nonviolence

Arjuna was trying to become very gentleman, nonviolent, Arjuna: “Krsna, I am not going to fight.” People very much appreciate, “Just see, Arjuna is so gentle, he is trying to become nonviolent, and Krsna is inducing him to become violent.” This is the vision of the demons. They do not know whatever Krsna desires, that is rightful. Krsna wanted Arjuna to fight. That is rightful. And Arjuna wanted to become nonviolent. That is not rightful.

From Srila Prabhupada’s lecture on Srimad-Bhagavatam 3.26.28 — January 5, 1975, Bombay
