"Hear everything from me, O Sanjaya, and do not be angry with me: you are learned, wise, intelligent, and esteemed by the knowing. I have no inclination toward strife, and I do not rejoice in the destruction of the Kurus; there is no difference for me between my own sons and the sons of Pandu."

Dhritarashtra asserts his impartiality and his dislike of war. But his words, noble in appearance, are contradicted by his deeds: after all, he permitted the game of dice and let his sons' crimes go unchecked (verses 92-93). This is the self-deception of attachment -- to call oneself impartial while acting partially. True equanimity (samata) is the fruit of devotion and self-knowledge, not of words alone; Dhritarashtra, blind both outwardly and inwardly, lacks it. The Lord sees the heart, not the assurances. The lesson: dharma lies in action, not in self-justifying speech.
