Chapter-2
Sankhya and Yoga
10. Then smiling, as it were, O Bharata, Krishna spoke to him, who was grieving, these words in the midst of the two armies. Then the Lord said to himself, “What is Arjuna up to now? He does not seem to understand. What can one do to make him see reason and restore his courage? Just as an exorcist appraises one possessed by a ghost (81-85), or a physician prescribes an antidote for an incurable disease, so Lord Krishna standing in the midst of the two armies, began to think of a plan to rid Arjuna of his obsession. Divining its cause, he began to speak in a somewhat angry tone. Just as a mother’s anger is full of affection for the child, or even a bitter medicine contains the ambrocial power of healing, which is not apparent but is seen from the result, so he began his speech with apparent unconcern but full of affection within (86-90).
