🔍 Deep Interpretation

In this verse, Saint Dnyaneshwar interprets Krishna's dialogue where he questions Arjuna's sudden lapse into delusion. Krishna points out that for a warrior of Arjuna's stature, being swayed by emotions at the moment of duty is highly inappropriate. He urges Arjuna to use his power of discrimination (Viveka) to realize that his current state of mind is not fitting for the situation.

🎯 Practical Application

In moments of crisis, instead of letting emotions cloud your judgment, one should rely on rational thinking and duty. Example: A leader staying calm and focused during a corporate crisis instead of panicking.

📌 Context

Krishna addresses Arjuna's mental confusion and hesitation on the battlefield of Kurukshetra.
