Commentary (टीका)
Remarkably, Krishna respects Arjuna's free will after sharing the most profound wisdom. God does not coerce — He educates, reveals truth, and then allows the individual to choose freely. This respect for human agency is one of the Gita's most beautiful principles: even divine guidance preserves freedom of choice.
