Sa evāyaṁ mayā te ’dya yogaḥ proktaḥ purātanaḥ

Reader: “Okay, But…Why Arjuna? Why Not Bhima or Nakula or… Me?”

Krishna (chuckling): “Ah, you’re thinking ahead! Well, let’s break it down. Arjuna was chosen because:

  • Devotion & Friendship: Arjuna was devoted to me and genuinely cared—just like a true friend who can handle the truth, even when it’s tough.
  • Right State of Mind: He was confused, questioning life’s purpose—basically, having an existential crisis in the middle of a battlefield! Perfect timing, right?
  • Desire for Truth: He wasn’t looking for shortcuts or comforting lies. He wanted the real deal, even if it was a hard pill to swallow.
  • Ready to Listen: Most people listen to respond, not to understand. But Arjuna was genuinely seeking guidance.

Honestly, anyone who meets these qualities could receive this wisdom—even you!”

Reader: “So, What Does This Mean for Us Common Folk?”

Krishna (with a gentle smile): “Ah, my friend, the Gita isn’t just for warriors or kings. Its wisdom is for everyone! Here’s how you can apply it in your life:

  • Stay Devoted to Your Purpose: You don’t need to be in a battlefield to live a life of purpose. Whether you’re an artist, engineer, parent, or student—do your duty with dedication.
  • Seek Truth, Not Comfort: Be like Arjuna—ask questions and face life’s challenges head-on. Don’t run away from tough situations.
  • Friendship & Humility Matter: Build genuine relationships and approach life humbly. Even the greatest wisdom needs an open heart to enter.
  • Guidance Will Come When You’re Ready: The answers you seek often come when you truly need them. Stay patient and keep seeking.

See? The Gita’s wisdom fits even in a modern, busy life.”

Krishna (smiling knowingly): “Ah, a seeker with a big heart! I like it. The Gita’s wisdom isn’t exclusive—it’s universal. Here’s how anyone can benefit:

  • Focus on Universal Values: Love, devotion, selflessness, inner peace—these values are in all faiths. Embrace them.
  • See the Divine Everywhere: You don’t need to call me Krishna—call me God, the Universe, or even Good Vibes if that helps!
  • Adapt, Don’t Convert: You don’t need to switch religions. Just take what resonates and enrich your life.
  • Many Paths, One Truth: Whether you chant, pray, meditate, or serve—it’s all about connecting with the Divine in your own way.

No monopoly on wisdom here, my friend. Truth is for everyone!”

Reader: “Wow, Krishna, You’re Pretty Cool!”

Krishna (laughing): “I know, right? But I’m more than just a pretty face! 😉
