Chapter 2 verse 41
“Here, O Joy of the Kurus (Kurunandana) there is but a
single pointed determination; many-branched and endless are the thoughts of the
irresolute”
There are several reflections for me in this sloka. First
point is on amount of love Krishna showers on Arjuna calling him the joy of
Kurus. In this stressful situation in midst of the battlefield, that
affectionate name would do wonders for Arjuna’s state of mind sending positive
vibrations to him. Second point is Krishna having established that he means
well for Arjuna reminds him again of the need to not disperse his energies in
various thoughts since each thought branches to multiple other thoughts and
that tree of thoughts is endless. His single point determination needs to be to
fight this battle.
