Chapter 1 · Arjuna Vishada Yoga
The Field of Dharma · Where Every Battle Begins
Meaning
"Dhritarashtra said: O Sanjay, gathered on the holy field of Kurukshetra, eager to fight, what did my sons and the sons of Pandu do?"
Explanation
The Gita opens not with answers but with a question — a king anxiously asking what's happening on a battlefield he cannot see. Every great teaching begins with someone honestly admitting they don't yet understand.
Today's Life Lesson
Whatever battlefield you're standing on today, inner or outer, it's alright to start simply by asking what's really going on.
