Acharya Prashant describes the Bhagavad Gita as an epic struggle where Shri Krishna addresses the helplessness and internal contradictions of the mind. He explains that Arjun's suffering arises from conflicting virtues and influences—such as the duty to respect elders versus the duty to defend territory and avenge his wife. These influences, stemming from society, religion, biology, and past experiences, create a fragmented mind where different parts operate from different centers like greed, attachment, or tradition. This state of fragmentation and lack of a common center is defined as Vyog, which leads to a life of conflict and slavery to external situations.
