Continuing his reasoning, Arjuna asks Kṛṣṇa why they should not turn away from this sin. He emphasizes that they ‘clearly see’ the crime in destroying the family. This highlights the difference between ignorance and willful sin. Arjuna feels that if he fights, he is committing a greater sin than the Kauravas because he is doing it with full knowledge of the consequences. He presents himself as a man of foresight, predicting the chain reaction of social collapse that starts with war. He is appealing to Kṛṣṇa’s sense of justice, essentially saying, “You cannot ask a man who knows the consequences to commit the same mistake as the ignorant.” He is deeply convinced that avoidance is the only ethical choice for someone with his level of understanding.
