Arjuna is asking for a single instruction from Kṛṣṇa, he says, ‘Tell me clearly what is best for me?’ By asking for a clear instruction, he can hold Kṛṣṇa responsible for his own inauthenticity and escape the responsibility for his actions.
Understand that asking for a single instruction itself is from violence. And if the single instruction is given, that is encouraging your violence., only inspiration should be given. This is the beauty of Hinduism!
No single instruction can
work because the root pattern
of asking for a single
instruction is violence.
Why? Because we feel either
we should be alive or the
other person
should be alive.
The mentality of fighting and
violence always excludes. The
root of the problem should be
solved.
Anything that talks about one
and only one solution is born
out of survival instinct, never
out of inspiration. Arjuna is a
kṣatriya, a warrior. Arjuna is
uncomfortable when he is not
in action; when he has no
clearly defined purpose and
motivated instructions before
him.v
FULFiLLMENT iN THE WORLDLY LiFE iS AN iLLUSiON
Some goal is always put in front of you. The so-called goals in material life or spiritual life continuously make you feel you are not good enough.
We are always greedy for more. We continuously pursue material goals. As a result, we never relax within ourselves.
Continuously running, thinking there is some purpose to life, a man's whole being will be in a state of tension, conditioned to running out of compulsion, never out of completion.
