The Yoga of Action

Arjuna's frustration peaks here. Using words like 'vyāmiśreṇa' (mixed/confusing) and 'mohayasi' (you confuse), he tells Krishna: your teachings feel contradictory. Yesterday you praised knowledge; today you push action. Which one matters? He demands 'ekam' (one path) told 'niścitya' (with certainty)—just give me THE answer. It's a cry we all recognize when expert advice seems to pull in opposite directions. But Arjuna's about to learn something crucial: wisdom isn't choosing between either/or. Different paths suit different temperaments, but action remains essential for everyone.
