Delusion caused by ignorance is a key factor that sustains samsara. Arjuna's situation reflects the dilemma we all face: What is our life's priority? Should we focus on doing what we do with the right mindset in order to achieve ultimate emancipation, or should we simply manage our daily affairs and let life pass us by until we die?
In this context, Arjuna expresses four important realizations in response to Lord Krishna's questions: the destruction of delusion, the regaining of memory, the dissolution of doubt, and surrender to God's will.
Knowing the illusion of the world can dispel delusion. By becoming aware of the eternal nature of the Self, we can reclaim our true identity. Doubts regarding life's priorities vanish when we understand that the ultimate goal of life is liberation. Surrendering to God is essential for working in the world while fulfilling His will.
Sanjay reports to Dhritarashtra that he listened to the extraordinary conversation between Vasudeva (Lord Krishna) and the great-souled Partha (Arjuna), a discussion so profound that it could make one's hair stand on end.
