You are being guided to surrender your ego and seek higher guidance when your mind is paralyzed by confusion. When you do not know your dharma, your true duty, you must practice bhakti, which is loving devotion and surrender to a higher wisdom. Only by asking for help can you overcome the mental fog of life.
2.7 With my heart stricken by the fault of weak compassion, with my mind perplexed about my duty, I reest you to say for certain what is good for me. I am your disciple. Teach me who have taken refuge in you.
