Description

Acharya Prashant explains that the conflict faced by Arjuna in the Shrimad Bhagavad Gita is not personal but represents the universal struggle of mankind. He clarifies that Shri Krishna and Arjuna are internal forces, with Shri Krishna representing the heart or the core of one's being. Discussing Chapter 2, Verse 66, he explains that for an unsteady person, there is neither intellect nor contemplation. Steadiness implies being rooted in the truth; therefore, unsteadiness means being committed to the false self or the ego. When one is not centered in the truth, both the intellect and the emotions become rootless and directed toward self-destruction and suffering.
