Educational Q&A
Do not postpone righteous action: in moments of crisis, dharma requires timely decision and execution. Delay itself can become a fault when it causes duty to be missed.
Sañjaya reports that Kṛṣṇa (Vāsudeva) speaks to Arjuna (Dhanañjaya), calling him ‘Pārtha’ and ‘mighty-armed,’ and urges him to act quickly so that their side does not lose the crucial moment in the unfolding battle.
