Chapter 1 · Verse 23
Arjuna Visada Yoga
अर्जुनविषादयोग
In plain words
This prompts you to recognize the negative habits and illusions that hold you back from your true potential. You must identify the inner enemies that serve your ego rather than your higher dharma, or spiritual path. Seeing these obstacles clearly is the first step to overcoming them through conscious karma, or selfless action.
