While these particular verses are “anti-Gita”, I love your derivation that one should constantly aspire for “cultivation of serenity and inner peace while remaining active” - but hardest to realize while in midst our own actions.

Drona being characterized as “teacher to Pandavas alone”, or the slant to rile up Drona as “son of Drupada” and such nuggets are delightful extracts.

Very interesting that you brought out that there is no narrative in real life, just opportunity for action, but I think we all secretly dream that we each have our own Sanjaya, providing narrative for eternity!
