Real
liberation comes from not glossing over or repressing painful states, but only
from experiencing them to the full.

You must
be wondering why the Author Sage Veda Vyasa started the chapter with Arjun Viṣhād
Yog. In general, humans are very proud. We naturally do not listen to others.
Only time when we listen to others is when we have exhausted all other avenues,
and we don’t see any other way. This naturally happens to people in distress.
Proud Warrior Prince Arjun is the greatest archer. He
would not be heeding to a great advice. Therefore, he has to be brought to the
knees before he can digest the great advice of Krishna.
As Arjun’s chariot enters the war zone, he wished to
see who all he has to fight. On Observing his opponents, many great warriors,
all are his close relatives, great sorrow descends on Arjun. and he starts lamenting the war and its
consequences. Unable to cope with the imagined colossal loss in
the about to rage war, with tears roll down on Arjun’s cheeks, A good part of the Chapter 1 is dedicated to Arjun’s
lamentation. and we are not going into these details.
In our current psychological state, we often resist change actively. This resistance may stem from a fear of losing the pleasures we currently enjoy or a desire to avoid the additional sorrow that a changed scenario could bring. Our experience of pain or pleasure is influenced by our internal resistance to change.
Arjun (though a prince and greatly skilled in archery)
in the entire Bhagavad Gita represents common man and his inclinations.
