Acharya Prashant explains that Arjun has been taught various conflicting virtues. For instance, respecting elders and non-violence are virtues, but so is defending one's territory. These clash because to defend his territory, he must fight his elders. Similarly, he is taught to care for his kins and clan, but also to take good care of his wife. This creates a conflict as his kins have insulted his wife, and he must defend her. This is how the mind gets divided. The mind is a bundle of influences from society, media, religion, past experiences, biology, politics, and economics. These influences do not agree with each other and are in constant conflict, which makes life a battlefield. This internal strife is human suffering and grief. It is a state where one part of the self is fighting another, and all parts are off-center and in disagreement with each other. This state of fragmentation is called 'Viyog' (disunion), which is the usual state in which mankind exists. In this state, one operates from a thousand different centers—career, religion, family—each with its own driving force like greed, tradition, or attachment. Yoga is the solution to this fragmentation. It means 'coming together' to form a composite mind. It is a return to one's primal purity and innocence, where the mind is not conditioned or stained. Yoga is not about having a fit body; if it were, Arjun, the fittest warrior, would not need lectures on it. Nor is it about otherworldly concepts like divinity or enlightenment. Yoga is about finding practical solutions to the real situations of life, such as how to live, how to treat relatives, or how to handle conflict. It means being 'Yogarudh'—firmly seated in Yoga—so that one is rooted in a point untouched by external forces like fear or temptation. Yoga is to have a self that is independent of situations, space, and time, bringing one closer to the soil and making one a real man.
