Donon senaayein Kurukshetra ke maidaan mein vyoohbaddh khadi thin, shankh baj chuke the, aur yuddh ka kshan aa gaya tha. Yug ke sabse bade dhanurdhar Arjun ne apne saarthi Krishna se kaha ki vah unka rath donon senaon ke beech le jaayein, taaki vah un logon ko dekh saken jinse vah ladne wale the. Krishna ne jaisa kaha gaya waisa kiya, aur Arjun ne Kaurav panktiyon ko dekha. Jo unhone dekha usne unka sankalp tod diya. Wahaan unke Pitaamah Bheeshm khade the, jinhe vah pita ki tarah prem karte the, aur unke guru Dron, jinke vah apne samast kaushal ke rini the. Wahaan unke chaacha, chachere bhai, bachpan ke mitra aur ve buzurg khade the jinhone unhe aashirvaad diya tha. Doosri or, unke peechhe unke apne bhai aur sahyogi khade the, maarne aur marne ko taiyaar. Arjun ka paraakrami dhanush Gaandeev unke haathon se phisal gaya. Unke ang kaanpe, munh sookh gaya, aur man bhram mein ghoom gaya. Unhone Krishna se kaha ki vah yah yuddh nahin lad sakte. Unhone poocha ki rajya kya aanand de sakta hai yadi vah unke priyajanon ke shavon par bana ho, aur kya koi mukut vidhvaon aur anaathon ke aansuon ke yogya hai. Unhone kaha ki rajya ke liye apne hi bandhuon ko maarna paap hoga, aur guruon aur buzurgon ke rakt se khareedi vijay vish jaisi lagegi. Unhone kaha ki paarivaarik rakt se kalankit rajya par shaasan karne se bhikhaari bankar bhiksha par jeena behtar hoga. Unhone tark diya ki parivaar ka vinaash uske dharm ka vinaash karta hai, aur jab dharm nasht hota hai, to samast samaaj patan mein girta hai. Dukh se abhibhoot hokar vah apne rath mein baith gaye aur ladne se mana kar diya. Tab Krishna, divya saarthi, bolne lage, aur unke shabd Bhagavadgita bane, Ishwar ka geet, Hindu dharm ka sabse priya shaastra. Krishna mriduta se muskuraaye aur Arjun ke dukh ko yoddha ke ayogya moh kaha. Unhone sikhaaya ki aatma shaashvat hai aur maari nahin ja sakti, ki shareer vastron ki tarah hain jinhe aatma tyaagti aur badalti hai, aur buddhimaan jeevit ya mrit ke liye shok nahin karte. Unhone Arjun se kaha ki Kshatriya ke roop mein dhaarmikta ke liye ladna unka pavitra kartavya hai, aur aasakti se usse bhaagna keval apmaan laayega. Unhone karm yog ka mahaan siddhaant samjhaaya, nihsvaarth karm ka yog. Unhone kaha ki vyakti ko apne karmon ke phalon ki aasakti ke bina apna kartavya karna chaahiye, parinaam Ishwar ko arpit karte hue, aur aisi anaasakti aatma ko bandhan se mukt karti hai. Unhone sikhaaya ki doosre ka kartavya poornata se karne se apna kartavya apoornata se karna behtar hai, kyonki pratyek aatma ko apne maarg par chalna chaahiye. Unhone samjhaaya ki karm aparihaarya hai, kyonki kaarya ke bina shareer ka bhi nirvaah nahin ho sakta, lekin bandhan keval phalon ki svaarthi ichchha se aata hai. Jab Arjun sunte rahe, to Krishna ne gehre se gehre satya prakat kiye. Unhone teen gunon ke baare mein bataaya, prakriti ke gun jo aatma ko baandhte hain, aur bhakti tatha gyaan se unse oopar uthne ke baare mein. Unhone sthitpragya rishi ka varnan kiya jiska man dukh ya sukh se adig rehta hai. Unhone bhakti ka maarg sikhaaya, Ishwar ke prati prempoorn samarpan ka, ghoshna karte hue ki jo prem se unki sharan lega vah mukt hoga. Aur charam par Krishna ne Arjun ko divya drishti di aur apna viraat roop prakat kiya, Vishvaroopa, anant mukhon, bhujaon aur lokon ki dahakti drishti, jismein samast srishti aur sanhaar samaahit tha. Arjun brahmaandiya drishti ke saamne kaanpe aur vismay se jhuke, ant mein samajhte hue ki Krishna param Prabhu hain, aur yuddh ek divya yojana ka bhaag hai jismein dushton ka vinaash pehle hi nishchit ho chuka hai. Unka moh door hua, unke sandeh hal hue, Arjun ne apna dhanush uthaaya. Unhone Krishna se kaha ki unka dukh gaya aur man spasht hai, aur vah apne kartavya ke aadeshaanusaar ladenge. Yoddha aur unke divya saarthi ke beech sanvaad ne niraasha ko gyaan mein badal diya tha, aur Bhagavadgita aaj bhi kartavya aur aasakti ke beech fanse har maanav hriday ka shaashvat uttar hai. Yoddha aaj bhi yuddh se pehle isse saahas paate hain, aur saadhak aaj bhi iske athaarah adhyaayon mein aatma ki har andheri raat ke liye deep paate hain.
