Acharya Prashant addresses the question of how to determine if one is standing with or against Shri Krishna in the present day. He explains that since the Gita is still present, Shri Krishna is also present. Those who do not resonate with the Gita are, in essence, standing against Krishna. The identity of Arjun is one who is ready to listen to the Gita, while Krishna is the one who possesses the Gita. This principle of identification remains the same today as it was during the Kurukshetra war. He elaborates that the side opposing Krishna, the Kauravas, may have many names and diverse backgrounds, but their common characteristic is a lack of interest in Krishna. This side is not devoid of worldly qualities; they possess great warriors, intelligence, skills, wealth, and even knowledge, as exemplified by figures like Kripacharya. However, the defining factor that separates the two sides is the presence of Krishna. Therefore, having worldly skills or knowledge does not automatically place one on the side of Truth. Acharya Prashant clarifies that "having the Gita" does not mean merely possessing a copy of the book or memorizing its verses. Even Duryodhana approached Krishna and received his army. The true meaning is to have love for the essence of Krishna (Krishnatva) within the Gita, which comes from deep understanding (bodh). The Gita is of the Upanishadic dimension, where the entire focus is on understanding, not on rituals, worship, or formal respect. One must grapple with the scripture, penetrate its words, and reach the root of its meaning. Standing against Krishna is synonymous with standing for untruth, which means nourishing the ego. The ego is the fundamental untruth—that which is not, but believes itself to be. To sustain itself, the ego must oppose the Truth. The way to oppose the ego is to see and understand its workings. As understanding deepens, one sees what the ego gains from its existence, making it easier to renounce. He points out the questioner's own attachment to her relatives' opinions, indicating that she still gives them great importance, which is a manifestation of the ego seeking attention by appearing "different" or "spiritual."
