Arjuna Visada Yoga

अर्जुनविषादयोग

भीष्मद्रोणप्रमुखतः सर्वेषां च महीक्षिताम् | उवाच पार्थ पश्यैतान्समवेतान्कुरूनिति ||१-२५||

bhīṣmadroṇapramukhataḥ sarveṣāṃ ca mahīkṣitām . uvāca pārtha paśyaitānsamavetānkurūniti ||1-25||

In plain words

This directs you to pause and look closely at the difficult choices before you. You must face your attachments and illusions, which is the first step in understanding maya, the powerful force of worldly illusion that clouds your vision. By confronting your challenges directly, you prepare yourself to understand your true duty and begin the path of self-realization.

Translation
