Shloka 7
🌟 Sanskrit:
कार्पण्यदोषोपहतस्वभावः |
पृच्छामि त्वां धर्मसम्मूढचेताः |
यच्छ्रेयः स्यान्निश्चितं ब्रूहि तन्मे |
शिष्यस्तेऽहं शाधि मां त्वां प्रपन्नम् || 2.7 ||
🌟 Transliteration:
kārpaṇya-doṣopahata-svabhāvaḥ |
pṛcchāmi tvāṁ dharma-sammūḍha-cetāḥ |
yac chreyaḥ syān niścitaṁ brūhi tan me |
śiṣyas te ’haṁ śādhi māṁ tvāṁ prapannam ||
🌟 Meaning:
"Now I am confused about my duty and have lost all composure because of miserly weakness. In this condition, I am asking you to tell me for certain what is best for me. Now I am your disciple, and a soul surrendered unto you. Please instruct me."
🌟 Explanation:
This is the moment of complete surrender. Arjuna admits his natural courage is destroyed by a "miserly weakness" (kārpaṇya-doṣa) and that his mind is utterly confused about dharma. He stops arguing and formally requests Krishna to be his guru. By saying, "I am your disciple" (śiṣyas te ’haṁ) and "I surrender to you" (tvāṁ prapannam), he opens himself completely to receive divine knowledge.
Shloka 8
🌟 Sanskrit:
न हि प्रपश्यामि ममापनुद्या |
द्यच्छोकमुच्छोषणमिन्द्रियाणाम् |
अवाप्य भूमावसपत्नमृद्धं |
राज्यं सुराणामपि चाधिपत्यम् || 2.8 ||
🌟 Transliteration:
na hi prapaśyāmi mamāpanudyād |
yac chokam ucchoṣaṇam indriyāṇām |
avāpya bhūmāv asapatnam ṛddhaṁ |
rājyaṁ surāṇām api cādhipatyam ||
🌟 Meaning:
"I can find no means to drive away this grief which is drying up my senses. I will not be able to dispel it even if I win a prosperous, unrivaled kingdom on earth with sovereignty like that of the demigods in heaven."
🌟 Explanation:
Arjuna makes it clear that no worldly solution can cure his sorrow. This grief is so profound that it's "drying up his senses." Even winning an undisputed kingdom on earth or gaining dominion over the heavens would not bring him peace. He recognizes that his problem is internal and spiritual, and therefore requires a spiritual solution.
Shloka 9
🌟 Sanskrit:
सञ्जय उवाच |
एवमुक्त्वा हृषीकेशं गुडाकेशः परन्तप |
न योत्स्य इति गोविन्दमुक्त्वा तूष्णीं बभूव ह || 2.9 ||
🌟 Transliteration:
sañjaya uvāca |
evam uktvā hṛṣīkeśaṁ guḍākeśaḥ paran-tapa |
na yotsya iti govindam uktvā tūṣṇīṁ babhūva ha ||
🌟 Meaning:
Sanjaya said: Having spoken thus, Arjuna, the chastiser of enemies, told Krishna, "Govinda, I shall not fight," and fell silent.
🌟 Explanation:
After completely surrendering and asking for guidance, Arjuna makes one final declaration of his current state: "I shall not fight" (na yotsye). He then becomes silent, waiting for Krishna's instruction. His silence is not one of defiance anymore, but of expectation. The student has asked his question and now waits patiently for the teacher to speak. This silence creates the perfect space for the Gita's wisdom to unfold.
Today’s Takeaway
True learning begins with "I don't know." Arjuna's journey teaches us that we can't find real answers until we let go of our own arguments and humbly admit our confusion. By surrendering his ego and becoming a disciple, he made himself ready to receive the highest knowledge. The most profound spiritual growth happens when we stop talking and start listening. 👂❤️
JAI SHRI KRISHNA💫💕💞💛🙏🙏🙌🙌
