Acharya Prashant explains that the conflict faced by Shri Krishna and Arjuna is not merely a historical event between two individuals, but a representation of the internal struggle faced by all of mankind. He clarifies that Shri Krishna resides within the heart of Arjuna, rather than just standing before him. Distinguishing between general books and scriptures, he notes that while both use words, scriptures aim for something beyond the ordinary plane and focus on essential truths. He advises that one should approach scriptures with the same focused and engrossed attitude one has during a meaningful spiritual discussion.
