Acharya Prashant begins by explaining the verses where Sanjay describes the battlefield to Dhritarashtra. The sound of the conch shells, especially from the Pandava side, has caused a stir in the hearts of the Kauravas, the sons of Dhritarashtra. Their minds are trembling, and their hearts are torn. After this description, the focus shifts to Arjun's side. Sanjay narrates that Arjun, the son of Pandu, whose flag bears the emblem of a monkey (Kapi-dhvaj), sees the sons of Dhritarashtra arrayed for battle. Preparing to launch his weapons, he picks up his bow and speaks to Shri Krishna. Arjun addresses Shri Krishna as 'Achyuta' (the infallible one) and asks him to place his chariot in the middle of the two armies. The speaker explains the significance of the various names used for Shri Krishna throughout the Gita. 'Achyuta' means one who does not fall, who is not fragmented, and who is beyond all divisions. 'Krishna' means one who has 'karshan' or attraction, the one towards whom you are irresistibly drawn. The name 'Hrishikesha' means the master of the senses. The speaker emphasizes that these names are not just labels but carry deep meaning, reminding the listener of the qualities of the divine. The names are meant to remind both the person being addressed and the one addressing them of the person's true nature, which is not merely that of an individual. Arjun's request to place the chariot in the middle is not just a strategic move but a desire for observation and knowledge. He wants to see and understand whom he has to fight. This desire to know, rather than just pouncing on the enemy, distinguishes a human from an animal. The speaker contrasts this with the ordinary person who, driven by greed or enmity, rushes into action without prior understanding. The Gita is for the warrior who faces a great challenge and is ready to make a great sacrifice. It is for those who, in difficult situations, have the courage to face great challenges. The Gita is for the one who is powerful but also has a tender heart. The speaker explains that the world often presents a paradox where people are inwardly hard but outwardly weak. Arjun is the opposite: outwardly powerful but inwardly soft and compassionate. This unique combination of strength and tenderness makes him a worthy recipient of the Gita's knowledge. The Gita is an achievement, earned through great effort, not a book that can be casually read by anyone. One must become worthy of it, just as Arjun did through his long and close association with Shri Krishna, which prepared him to receive this ultimate knowledge.
