ABOUT THIS CHAPTER
Sankhya Yoga, the Yoga of Analysis, is Krishna's first reply to Arjun's collapse. It is the longest chapter of the Bhagavad Gita — 72 verses — and contains some of the text's most-cited verses (2.47, 2.48, 2.50). Krishna does not begin with reassurance. He begins with diagnosis. He tells Arjun, in effect: your problem is that you don't know who you are.
