Gita 11.1

Sadhak: "Arjuna says his delusion is gone. But is it really? He'll ask questions even in Chapter 18. How can delusion be 'gone' if doubts remain?"

Guru: "What kind of delusion had Arjuna at the beginning?"

Sadhak: "He thought fighting would lead to sin, that killing his relatives would destroy him, that it was better to beg than to fight."

Guru: "And now, after ten chapters, does he still believe any of that?"

Sadhak: "No... he understands the Self is eternal, action is duty, and Krishna is the Supreme. But he still has questions!"

Guru: "Questions and delusion are not the same. A student asking questions is not deluded - they're engaged. Delusion is when you're certain about something false. Arjuna no longer has false certainties blocking his vision."

Sadhak: "So the delusion was the fixed wrong beliefs, not the ongoing inquiry?"

Guru: "Exactly. Moha is not ignorance - it's the confident embrace of illusion. Arjuna was so convinced of his 'righteous' despair that he threw down his weapons. That conviction in the false has now dissolved. What remains is open questioning - which is the beginning of wisdom, not its obstacle."

Sadhak: "And he credits Krishna's grace, not his own understanding. Is that just politeness?"

Guru: "Can you make yourself understand what you're not ready to receive?"

Sadhak: "No. Sometimes explanations just don't land until the right moment."

Guru: "That 'right moment' is grace. The same words spoken to different hearts produce different results. Arjuna recognizes that Krishna's words penetrated his delusion not merely because they were logical, but because they were given with love, at the right time, to a heart ready to receive."
