CHAPTER 2 Curiosity About Action कार्पण्यदोषोपहतस्वभाव: पृच्छामि त्वां धर्मसंमूढचेता: । यच्छ्रेय: स्यान्निश्चितं ब्रूहि तन्मे शिष्यस्तेऽह शाधि मां त्वां प्रपन्नम् ॥7॥ [ “With my mind swamped with feeble pity and confusion regarding duty, I entreat you to instruct me as to what is definitely conducive to my glory, for I am your disciple and have taken refuge in you.” ] With his heart enfeebled by pity and his mind clouded with infatuation in regard to dharm, Arjun begs Krishn to tell him the means that will definitely be the most conducive to what is supremely propitious for him. But why should Krishn do this? According to Arjun, it is Krishn’s duty to show him the right path because he (Arjun) is a disciple who has found shelter under him. Furthermore, he needs not only instruction but also support when he stumbles. He is like the man requesting a helper to place the load on his back, help him in securing it there, and also to come along with him, for who will put back the load in place again if it slips down. Such is Arjun’s abject submission to Krishn.
