2nd Chapter:

2nd Chapter:

C2V1: Sanjoy the narrator and onlooker was giving the narration. He is stating the condition of Arjun who was sitting in the chariot with tears. Seeing Arjun in this morose condition SHREE BHAGAWAN scolds him.

C2V2: ‘ARYAS’ are supposed to be more educated and privileged and elite class of society than the common people called as ‘ANARYA’. A person like Arjun, being an icon of the society could not effort to behave in a disgracefully frivolous way at a crucial juncture of life. Impulsively changing decisions which were previously planed, considering many pros and cons, should always be condemned and looked upon lowly by the society.

C2V3: Suddenly looking at the would be outcome, which was obvious from right from the beginning, one can not afford to drop the job in hand, especially if it is one of the most important job of life. SHREE BHAGAWAN is not scolding Arjun for his being respectful to his elders, rather for suddenly discovering the most obvious. At the ‘tug of war’ of responsibility and emotion Arjun is also, like us, getting carried away and at this point SHREE BHAGAWAN rebuking him for being withdrawn and inactive. So has to get rid of irrational emotional bindings.
C2V4-6: All education that we get since childhood when conflict one another put us in a dilemma. Arjun also is in such condition. He have to hit them with sharp weapons, whom he loves, respects, adores. It appears to him that it is better to beg than to enjoy kingdom achieved by killing relatives and teachers. At the same time he is also thinking that these are the people who taught him to fight ruthlessly in a war without caring anything else. Whoever seeks fight would get it. It is the duty of a warrior. Still Arjun is confused. Which would be better, he does not know, whether winning or loosing would be best for him.

C2H7: Arjun is brooding for being indecisive still he is feeling that people would pity him for being so. He is surrendering himself to SHREE KRISHNA as a pupil and praying to Him to show him the right path to go through.
If we really want to know any thing, we have to shed all of our inhibition and make our mind open to get the knowledge to it’s real form.

C2V8-9: Arjun is expressing his well thought out decision that he is not going to fight his ancestors. It is his realization that the winning of the war might increase their wealth but the grief caused by the demise of his ancestors would be insufferable and that could not be wiped out even by winning the Heaven or earth. So Arjun is confirming that he would not fight and as this is his final decision and he is expressing that he is not interested to discuss further.
We may notice that few minutes back he was seeking guidance from SHREE KRISHNA and afterwards he has again changed his decision and reaching to the conclusion without listening to SHREE KRISHNA. This is a very common practice we notice around us. We seek guidance still desire to work in the manner of our own choice. At disturbed state of mind when we really need guidance and advice; we jeopardize our position by being stern. Even a person like Arjun is also shutting the windows of his mind at a great important juncture. What of us?

C2V10: SHREE KRISHNA is laughing at Arjun and starting his discourse in front of everyone present around. He is laughing because to him Arjun is grieved so becoming irrational which makes the most respectable person even a laughing stock.
