Arjuna

Educational Q&A

The opening of this section signals Arjuna’s request for a clear criterion of the best spiritual discipline—renunciation of action or selfless action—setting up the teaching that true renunciation is inner non-attachment rather than mere external withdrawal.

On the battlefield setting of the Mahābhārata, Arjuna addresses Kṛṣṇa to resolve his confusion about the proper path to liberation and steadiness of mind, which leads into the Gītā’s exposition of yoga and meditation.
