Chapter-18
Release
Arjuna said: 73. My delusion is gone; I have now recollection (of my duty) through your grace, O Achyuta (Krishna). I stand secure with no doubts and shall do what you say. Then Arjuna said, “O Lord, why do you ask whether I still have that delusion? It has already left with bag and baggage. Will it be reasonable for the sun to approach and ask, “Do you see darkness?” In the same way, is not your very sight, sufficient to dispel this delusion (1556-1560)? You have explained to me in detail, the knowledge with affection greater than that of a mother. Now if you ask me whether I have got rid of my infatuation, I readily tell you that through your grace, I have accomplished my object. I had got entangled in the notion that ‘I am Arjuna’, but after becoming one with you, I have become free from it. Through your favour, I have come to realise the Self and got rid of my infatuation. It was through the notion of duality that I was bothered by the question, whether I should fight or not fight. Now I know nothing in this world except Yourself (1561-1565). I do not feel even a shadow of doubt about it. I have now reached that state in which nothing remains for me to do. |
