Then the warrior on white horses, Jaya, said to the unconquered Krishna: "This Sushaman, with his brothers, summons me to battle, O Achyuta. Yet in the north our army is being crushed, O slayer of foes. My heart is split in two now, over what the samshaptakas have done: whether I should strike down the samshaptakas, or protect my own, tormented by our foes. You know my mind -- what would be right here?"

Once again Arjuna's heart is "split in two" -- and now he does not decide alone, but asks Krishna: "what would be right?" Here is the devotee's highest wisdom: in a moment of doubt, to turn to the Lord for guidance. It is telling that a man of the greatest valor is not ashamed to ask for counsel, admitting that Krishna "knows his mind" better than he does himself. The verse teaches that even the strongest does not always see clearly what is good, and must then seek higher guidance; that turning to the Lord in confusion is not weakness but the summit of understanding; and that a devotee who entrusts his choice to the One who knows the heart does not remain divided, but finds in His guidance a firm footing that his own restless reasoning cannot give.
