Bhagavad Gita Chapter 1, Verse 22
कैर्मया सह योद्धव्यमस्मिन् रणसमुद्यमे | योत्स्यमानानवेक्षेऽहं य एतेऽत्र समागताः ||
kair mayā saha yoddhavyam asmin raṇa-samudyame yotsyamānān avekṣe 'haṁ ya ete 'tra samāgatāḥ
Let me behold those who are here assembled, ready to fight, whom I must encounter in the strife of battle.
Arjuna asks to see 'with whom I must fight' (kair mayā saha yoddhavyam)—not abstractly, but the actual faces. This request will transform everything. When conflict is abstract—ideology, party, group—fighting is easy. But see individual faces (colleagues, family, people with stories), and everything changes. The verse teaches: before major decisions affecting people, see the human faces involved. Personalization changes everything.
