TRANSLATION My intelligence
is bewildered by Your equivocal instructions. Therefore, please tell me
decisively what is most beneficial for me.
PURPORT In the previous
chapter, as a prelude to the Bhagavad-gita, many different paths
were explained, such as sankhya-yoga, buddhi-yoga, control of the
senses by intelligence, work without fruitive desire, and the position
of the neophyte. This was all presented unsystematically. A more organized
outline of the path would be necessary for action and understanding. Arjuna,
therefore, wanted to clear up these apparently confusing matters so that
any common man could accept them without misinterpretation. Although Krsna
had no intention of confusing Arjuna by any jugglery of words, Arjuna could
not follow the process of Krsna consciousness--either by inertia or active
service. In other words, by his questions he is clearing the path of Krsna
consciousness for all students who seriously want to understand the mystery
of the Bhagavad-gita.
