Request in the Bhagavad Gita — 2 verses across Chapter 1, including 1.21, 1.24. 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
v1.24· Krishna
What happens when God does exactly what you ask Him to?
Arjun asked. Krishna obeyed. The master of the senses drove the chariot to the exact center of both armies — and what Arjun saw from there changed everything.
“Be careful what you ask for. The universe is listening.”
— Krishna
