Acharya Prashant explains that the conflict faced by Arjun in the Bhagavad Gita represents the universal struggle of mankind. He clarifies that Shri Krishna and Arjun are not merely external figures but exist within us, with Shri Krishna representing the heart or the core of the individual. Addressing verses from Chapter 7, he explains that while the fundamental element, Shri Krishna, expresses itself in all things in the universe, no single finite thing can contain the infinite totality of the truth. This distinction is the basis for the difference between Ishwar, the manifested representation of godliness, and Brahman, the ultimate truth. While everything can be respected as a door to the beyond, nothing finite can be mistaken for the beyond itself.
