Bhagavad Gita Chapter 2, Verse 7

कार्पण्यदोषोपहतस्वभावः पृच्छामि त्वां धर्मसम्मूढचेताः | यच्छ्रेयः स्यान्निश्चितं ब्रूहि तन्मे शिष्यस्तेऽहं शाधि मां त्वां प्रपन्नम् ||

kārpaṇya-doṣopahata-svabhāvaḥ pṛcchāmi tvāṁ dharma-sammūḍha-cetāḥ yac chreyaḥ syān niścitaṁ brūhi tan me śiṣyas te 'haṁ śādhi māṁ tvāṁ prapannam

My nature is overcome by the taint of weakness, my mind is confused about duty. I ask Thee: tell me decisively what is best for me. I am Thy disciple. Teach me who has taken refuge in Thee.

This is the Gita's turning point. After arguing and anguishing, Arjuna finally admits his confusion ('dharma-sammūḍha-cetāḥ' - bewildered about dharma) and formally surrenders: 'śiṣyas te 'ham' (I am your disciple), 'śādhi mām' (teach me). This isn't weakness—it's wisdom. He recognizes that intellectual debate can't resolve his dilemma; he needs higher guidance. His request 'yac chreyaḥ syān niścitam' (tell me with certainty what is best) shows readiness for clear direction. From here, Krishna's real teaching begins.
