Acharya Prashant explains that the misery of Arjuna represents the universal conflict faced by all of mankind. He clarifies that Shri Krishna and Arjuna are not merely two external persons but exist within us, with Shri Krishna representing the heart or the self. Drawing from the teachings of Yagyavalkya, he emphasizes that the world, the Vedas, and all beings are essentially projections of the mind and are not different from the self. If one perceives the world as a separate reality rather than a projection, they are destined to suffer because they will view themselves as small, limited beings in a larger world. This sense of smallness is contrary to our true nature, which is infinite and ever-expanding, often referred to as Brahman.
