Commentary (टीका)
Arjuna expresses complete faith in Krishna as the sole authority who can resolve his spiritual doubt. This combination of sincere doubt and total faith in the teacher is the ideal attitude for a spiritual seeker. Arjuna's humility in acknowledging that only Krishna can answer this question demonstrates the proper guru-disciple relationship that allows the deepest teachings to flow.
