Bhagavad Gita Chapter 1, Verse 30

गाण्डीवं स्रंसते हस्तात्त्वक्चैव परिदह्यते | न च शक्नोम्यवस्थातुं भ्रमतीव च मे मनः ||

gāṇḍīvaṁ sraṁsate hastāt tvak caiva paridahyate na ca śaknomy avasthātuṁ bhramatīva ca me manaḥ

The bow Gandiva slips from my hand, and my skin burns all over. I cannot stand steady; my mind whirls round.

Arjuna's crisis escalates to total breakdown. 'Gāṇḍīvaṁ sraṁsate hastāt'—Gandiva slips from his hand. Not clumsiness but identity collapse—his divine bow, his warrior self, literally falling away. 'Tvak paridahyate'—skin burning all over ('pari-' means completely). 'Na śaknomy avasthātum'—cannot stand steady. 'Bhramatīva me manaḥ'—mind whirling into confusion. The cascade: body rebels (verse 29), tools/identity slip (this verse), mental coherence dissolves. When asked to violate core values, your entire system—physical, professional, cognitive—may simply refuse to function. This isn't malfunction; it's your integrated self refusing fundamental violation.
