Description

Acharya Prashant addresses a question regarding the dilemma faced by Shri Krishna's disciple in the second chapter of the Bhagavad Gita, where he is torn between fighting and fleeing. He explains that human dilemmas often involve choosing between two equally harmful or ignorant options, which he metaphorically compares to choosing between two types of poison. He suggests that instead of focusing on the external choices, one must examine the source of these options. Most choices arise from ignorance, greed, or lust, and as long as one remains entangled in these false alternatives, the truth remains hidden. He emphasizes that truth is not a choice among many; rather, it is the state of 'non-duality' or 'chooselessness' that remains when all false options are discarded.
