Educational Q&A
Measured action and disciplined obedience: in a crisis like war, one should not act from haste or ego but proceed steadily, aligning one’s conduct with a rightful guide’s intention and the larger dharmic aim.
Sañjaya reports that the charioteer advances slowly, deliberately following the plan or instruction of Kṛṣṇa (called Sātvata), indicating coordinated movement on the battlefield under Kṛṣṇa’s direction.
