Chapter 1 · Verse 47
Arjuna Visada Yoga
अर्जुनविषादयोग
In plain words
You need to acknowledge and sit with your deepest grief and confusion when life's battles overwhelm you. Like a seeker lost in maya, the illusion of worldly attachment, you might feel like throwing down your tools and giving up. Recognizing this heavy sorrow is the first step toward seeking the higher jnana, or spiritual wisdom, that heals.
Translation
1.47 Sanjaya said : Having spoken thus on the battle-field, Arjuna threw aside his how and arrows and sat down on the seat of the chariot, his heart overwhelmed with grief.
Meaning
एवम् thus उक्त्वा having said अर्जुनः Arjuna संख्ये in the battle रथोपस्थे on the seat of the chariot उपाविशत् sat down विसृज्य having cast away सशरम् with arrow चापम् bow शोकसंविग्नमानसः with a mind distressed with sorrow. Thus in the Upanishads of the glorious Bhagavad Gita the science of the Eternal the scripture of Yoga the dialogue between Sri Krishna and Arjuna ends the first discourse entitledThe Yoga of the Despondency of Arjuna.
