Description

Acharya Prashant explains that the conflict faced by Arjun in the Bhagavad Gita is not merely a historical event between two individuals, but a representation of the internal struggle faced by all of humanity. He clarifies that Shri Krishna is not an external figure but the very heart of Arjun, symbolizing the inner guide. Addressing the concept of ambition, he warns against blindly following the success stories of role models, noting that these narratives are often heavily curated and edited. He points out that many such individuals suffer from internal misery, leading to crimes or suicide, which proves that their external success does not equate to internal fulfillment.
