Bhagavad Gita Chapter 1, Verse 20

अथ व्यवस्थितान्दृष्ट्वा धार्तराष्ट्रान्कपिध्वजः | प्रवृत्ते शस्त्रसम्पाते धनुरुद्यम्य पाण्डवः ||

atha vyavasthitān dṛṣṭvā dhārtarāṣṭrān kapi-dhvajaḥ pravṛtte śastra-sampāte dhanur udyamya pāṇḍavaḥ

Then, seeing the sons of Dhritarashtra standing arrayed and the clash of weapons about to begin, Arjuna — whose flag bore Hanuman — took up his bow.

The conches have been blown, and now the moment arrives: Arjuna, whose flag bears Hanuman (Kapi-dhvaja — the symbol of devotion and divine grace), raises his bow as the weapons are about to clash. This is not just any warrior — it is a dharma warrior backed by blessing, stepping onto the threshold. But this verse also marks a transition: the external drama (the armies, the conches, the preparation) is about to give way to an internal drama — Arjuna's coming crisis. In life, we face these moments: everything has built up to this point, and now you must raise your bow and act. The question is: will you step forward, or freeze at the threshold?
