This is the terrible mistake. Reins are in the hands of Lord Krishna and Arjun is becoming decisive. Arjun did not have a single glance towards the Lord. He is not even seeking affirmation whether he is correct or not, his decision is right or not. The warrior standing on the border of the kingdom beholding the enemy in front makes up his mind and says that he is not going to pick up his weapon. Anyone can kill me; how far is this assertion justified? Sin is in picking up the weapon or giving it up. Arjun having decided so what did he do? Sanjay concluding the first chapter is throwing light on the strange state of Arjun to Dhritrashtra.
