Explicação

Arjuna explains why he needs a teacher. His grief is so deep that it dries up his senses, and he can imagine no outer gain that would cure it, not an unrivalled kingdom on earth and not even rule over the gods. The verse rules out the usual rewards of victory as solutions. Whatever Krishna offers will have to address the grief itself, not distract from it with promises of power. This sets the direction of the chapter: the answer will be about understanding and inner steadiness rather than about winning.
