Thus a persistent inner voice the last few days. The phrase comes to me over and over again, and when I least expect it, but I have no idea what it refers to. I am not contemplating any withdrawal, anyhow. What is going on? The Bhagavad Gita comes to mind at long last, but the connection still puzzles me. Is Krishna talking into my ear? Am I in Arjuna’s shoes out of the blue? One way or another, the phrase reminds me of the barren Strasbourg battlefield. There, the Croatian judges are already lined for battle against me. “There’ll be no withdrawal,” I raise my head with renewed determination. “And victory will bring no rejoicing, either.”
