Arjuna's crisis on the battlefield from "summary" of BHAGAVAD GITA AS IT IS [NEPALI LANGUAGE]. by A.C. BHAKTIVEDANTA. SWAMI PRABHUPADA
The warrior Arjuna found himself in a difficult situation on the battlefield of Kurukshetra. As the battle was about to begin, he was overwhelmed with doubt and confusion. He was faced with the daunting task of fighting against his own relatives, teachers, and friends. Arjuna was torn between his duty as a warrior and his love for his family members. He was filled with sorrow and compassion, unable to decide what course of action to take. Arjuna's crisis was not just a matter of personal dilemma; it was a spiritual crisis as well. He was struggling with questions about the nature of life, death, duty, and righteousness. He was grappling with the idea of killing his own kinsmen in the name of duty. Arjuna was deeply troubled by the moral implications of engaging in a bloody battle that would result in the death of so many loved ones. In his moment of crisis, Arjuna turned to Lord Krishna for guidance. Krishna, who was Arjuna's charioteer, friend, and mentor, offered him wisdom and counsel. Krishna explained to Arjuna the nature of the self, the concept of duty, and the eternal soul. He taught Arjuna about the importance of performing one's duty without attachment to the results. Through his teachings, Krishna helped Arjuna see beyond his immediate situation and gain a broader perspective on life. He helped Arjuna understand that as a warrior, his duty was to fight for justice and righteousness. Krishna urged Arjuna to rise above his doubts and fears, to act with courage and conviction. Arjuna's crisis on the battlefield is a powerful metaphor for the struggles that we all face in life. It symbolizes the inner conflict between our desires and our sense of duty, between our attachments and our spiritual aspirations. Arjuna's journey from confusion to clarity, from despair to determination, serves as a timeless lesson in self-discovery and self-realization.
