Commentary by Jayaram V

4. How O Madusudhana, shall I strike Bhisma and Drona who are worthy of worship, with arrows in battle, O
Arisudana? |
Arjuna has now recovered partially from the shock and grief and is in a reflective
mood. He has put in front of Lord Krishna the questions that are troubling his mind.
By asking a question and seeking God's guidance, Arjuna has admitted his ignorance
and has shown true humility.
Many people continue to suffer in their lives because they egoistically refuse
to seek answers from the knowledgeable ones for their nagging problems.
They do so because they are not willing to expose their weakness in front of
others or acknowledge their limitations.
Divine guidance comes only to those souls who are willing to admit their weaknesses
and are ready to learn from wise people, from people of wisdom and spiritual learning
who have already treaded the path of God and have attained Him.
God is always willing to respond to sincere and reverential prayers. He is ever
willing to answer a devotee who has raised a genuine question and in need of a correct
answer that can help him to overcome some difficulty.
