Having positioned the chariot, Kṛṣṇa speaks: “Behold, O Pārtha, all the Kurus assembled here.” He does not say “Behold the enemy.” He uses the family name ‘Kurus’ that binds both parties together. With this single word, Kṛṣṇa breaks down the mental barrier Arjuna had built. He forces Arjuna to look at the reality: these are not faceless soldiers, but his kinsmen. Kṛṣṇa deliberately parks the chariot directly in front of Bhīṣma and Droṇa—the two people Arjuna loves and respects the most. This is the setup for the yoga of dejection. Kṛṣṇa acts as the guru who exposes the disciple’s hidden weakness of material attachment so that it can eventually be removed by the light of knowledge. He initiates the crisis that will lead to the greatest spiritual discourse in history.
