Similarly, Arjuna; Arjuna was a very exalted personality but Krsna purposely put him in a situation on Kuruksetra battlefield just to teach the world through him. Krsna wanted to teach the Bhagavad Gita to all of us but first He wanted to show us how we must approach the Bhagavad Gita. Therefore He used Arjuna as an example. Arjuna was put into a perplexity that was so severe that he didn’t know who he was, where he was, what he was suppose to do, tears were flowing from his eyes in frustration and anxiety, his entire complexion became white, his limbs were trembling, his hairs were standing on end, his mouth was dry, his Gandiva bow slipped out of his hand, in that state he approached Krsna, that I don’t know what is to be done and what is not to be done I am a soul who is surrendering to You, You are my spiritual master please instruct me. Then Krsna smiled, called him a fool then He began the Bhagavad Gita.
