The Yoga of Knowledge

Sanjaya narrates to Dhritarashtra: Arjuna sits paralyzed, tears streaming down his face, overwhelmed by what looks like compassion. But Krishna (Madhusudana—destroyer of the demon Madhu) recognizes something deeper. These aren't tears of wisdom; they're tears of confusion masquerading as virtue. This moment marks the shift from emotional crisis to teaching. What follows isn't comfort—it's clarity about duty, self, and the difference between feelings that guide us and feelings that trap us.
