There are three ways that lead to the quality of nature: lucidity, passion, and dark inertia. Men of each way sacrifice to different things. Men of lucidity sacrifice to the gods; men of passion to spirits and demons; and men of dark inertia sacrifice to corpses and ghosts. Foods are also divided into these three paths; lucid men like savory, smooth, firm, and rich foods that promote long life, lucidity (obviously), health, pleasure and delight. Passionate men like food that is bitter, sour, salty, hot,and burning. The foods of passionate men cause grief, pain, and sickness. Men that are darkly inert like stale, putrid, and spoiled foods that are unfit for sacrifice. I'm very confused about all of this and I'm very deeply sorry if anybody reading this is as lost as I am.
I just noticed that I went through all this torture just to find out if Arjuna fights or not, well guess what? I still don't know! In the end Arjuna tells Krishna that his delusion is destroyed and that he will act on his words. The only problem is that Krishna says so many words, God only knows which words Arjuna is talking about!
