Blindness
Blindness in the Bhagavad Gita — 2 verses across Chapter 1, including 1.1, 1.22. Sanskrit, Hindi, English. One reel per verse.
v1.1· Dhritarashtra
The Gita opens with a question no one wanted answered.
A blind king asks what's happening on a battlefield he'll never see. His first word — "my sons" — reveals he already chose a side.
“The hardest questions are the ones you already know the answer to.”
— Krishna
v1.22· Arjun
Arjun asked to see the enemy. He didn't know he was looking at his own family.
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
