Bhagavad Gita Chapter 1, Verse 23

योत्स्यमानानवेक्षेऽहं य एतेऽत्र समागताः | धार्तराष्ट्रस्य दुर्बुद्धेर्युद्धे प्रियचिकीर्षवः ||

yotsyamānān avekṣe 'haṁ ya ete 'tra samāgatāḥ dhārtarāṣṭrasya durbuddher yuddhe priya-cikīrṣavaḥ

These who have assembled here, wishing to please the evil-minded son of Dhritarashtra in battle.

Arjuna asks Krishna to position his chariot where he can see everyone assembled for battle. Then comes his observation: these warriors have gathered to 'please' (priya-cikīrṣavaḥ) Duryodhana, whom he calls 'durbuddhi' — corrupt-minded. This is not about individual evil. It is about a system where capable, even noble people fight — not because the cause is just, but because they want to please one corrupt leader. Thousands of warriors enabling one person's ambition. Arjuna is seeing the pattern: good people become the machinery of bad leadership through misplaced loyalty. The question cuts deep: when does your loyalty to someone become complicity in their corruption?
