Description

Acharya Prashant clarifies that Shri Krishna’s interference in the lives of others, particularly Arjun, was an act of love and responsibility rather than a response to a formal surrender. He points out that Arjun was not a perfectly surrendered devotee at the beginning; he was resistant, confused, and even questioned Shri Krishna’s instructions well into the discourse. Shri Krishna chose to advise Arjun because Arjun possessed the 'viveka' or discernment to pause and observe the situation, unlike others who were blinded by their own convictions and conditioning. This willingness to doubt one's own beliefs is described as an auspicious quality that makes one a worthy student of truth.
