Chapter 11: Viśvarūpa-darśana-yoga: / Verse 14

Earlier, on hearing Arjuna wanting to leave the warfront in distress, Krishna had admonished him (2.2,3). Arjuna outlived his emotional turbulence, raising pertinent dharmic questions. Due to narrow-mindedness, he confessed, he was unable to think of propriety, dharma (2.7). So, he surrendered before Krishna, seeking instruction on the path of lasting virtue, śreyas. He said he was a seeking disciple, and Krishna his Guru, initiating the illustrious knowledge-dialogue.

Arjuna now prostrates before his Guru, pouring forth his heart, with folded hands. What a touching scene! A significant transition from the quest of intelligence to emotional trust and gratitude, yearning for a life-long anchor in the Guru – a great lesson for seekers!

Gita is not just an instant dialogue with Arjuna. It is a full spiritual composition on interactional life, revealing dharma (righteousness) and spiritual enlightenment.
