Just as ghosts and spirits get into a man, "the demon called compassion" had got into Arjuna. But Kṛṣṇa Paramātma was right beside him, so there was nothing to fear. In the presence of Him who is Lord of all beings, what can any spirit do? As the saying goes, "The physician is Nārāyaṇa, Hari": Kṛṣṇa Paramātma himself became Arjuna's physician. How fortunate Arjuna was! Even in grief, the right kind of grief brings nothing but good gain. Out of dejection and grief, Arjuna lamented like a coward in the demon's grip right up to the eleventh śloka of the second chapter. So the second chapter, Sāṅkhya Yoga, up to its tenth śloka, may itself be called the "Arjuna Gītā". From the eleventh śloka begins the nectar of Kṛṣṇa Paramātma's teaching. The "Bhagavad Gītā" begins from there. The first chapter shows the state of tamoguṇa that had seized Arjuna at its peak. Sañjaya goes on reporting to Dhṛtarāṣṭra these acts that are the very form of tamoguṇa. In this chapter Kṛṣṇa Paramātma did not intervene at all. He simply watched, as the witness of everything. Then Arjuna said he would fight no more; that the Viveka of dharma and adharma in his citta was ruined and lost; that he could not see his way; and he asked Kṛṣṇa himself to tell him what was good for him. At that moment, as Arjuna sat there having given up the fight, Kṛṣṇa Paramātma came forward and said, "Arjuna! You have a pure nature. Where has this wretched cowardice come from, in you, today, at a time like this? It is not worthy of you."
