Asking

Asking in the Bhagavad Gita — 2 verses across Chapter 1, including 1.21, 1.22. Sanskrit, Hindi, English. One reel per verse.

v1.21· Arjun

Arjun's first words in the Gita were a command to God. What did he ask Krishna to do?

Then Arjun spoke — his first words in the Gita. He said to Krishna: O Achyut, place my chariot between the two armies.

“He asked to see. He wasn't ready for what he'd find.”
— Krishna

v1.22· Arjun

Let me see them — these men who stand here eager for war. With whom must I fight? He still thought it was a question about strategy.

“Sometimes the hardest battle is realizing who you're fighting.”
— Krishna
