What to Focus On

  • Argument is presented as a strength, not a weakness.
  • Public reasoning is central to Indian culture and politics.
  • Democracy is supported by habits of discussion and debate.
  • Krishna represents duty and action without hesitation.
  • Arjuna represents moral reflection and concern for consequences.
  • 'Faring forward' means doing duty despite consequences.
  • Oppenheimer developed the first nuclear explosion device in 1945.
  • Technical achievement can create moral problems.
  • Action taken for success may later need ethical scrutiny.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Krishna and Sen are saying the same thing about life and duty.

Arjuna is simply weak, fearful, or confused, so his objections are irrelevant.

The chapter says the message of the Gita is already complete and needs no further interpretation.

Memory Tips

Krishna's position as faring forward

Sen's advocated position as faring well

Arjuna's consequential question
