अर्जुन उवाच | ज्यायसी चेत्कर्मणस्ते मता बुद्धिर्जनार्दन | तत्किं कर्मणि घोरे मां नियोजयसि केशव ||
Arjuna uvacha: jyayasi chet karmanas te mata buddhir janardana
Arjuna said: O Krishna, if you consider knowledge superior to action, then why do you urge me to engage in this terrible action?
Modern Application: Confusion arises when teachings seem contradictory.
Deep Wisdom: Arjuna is confused between renunciation (knowledge) and action (karma). This question triggers the explanation of Karma Yoga.
