Chapter 2 · Verse 2
Sankhya Yoga
सांख्ययोग
In plain words
You are called to recognize when self-pity and confusion are clouding your mind in moments of crisis. You are being urged to reject this weakness, as it turns you away from your dharma, which is your righteous duty in life. Falling into maya, the illusion that makes you forget your true strength, only brings disgrace instead of spiritual growth.
Translation
2.2 The Lord said Whence comes on you this despondency, O Arjuna, in this crisis? It is unift for a noble person. It is disgraceful and it obstructs one's attainment of heaven.
