The Yoga of Knowledge

Arjuna's grief has reached a depth where even ultimate power—ruling earth or heaven—couldn't touch it. The term ucchoṣaṇam indriyāṇām (drying up of the senses) describes that numb depression where life loses all color and meaning. He's grasped something crucial: external success cannot solve an internal spiritual crisis. He's right that more achievement won't help, but he doesn't yet see the real solution—not gaining or renouncing things, but transforming your perspective on them.
