Episode 11: The Mask of Certainty
Have you ever felt so sure of your position that it shattered you when life moved against your expectations? Arjuna’s breakdown on the battlefield is not just a moment of weakness—it is a mirror showing us how certainty can become a mask for fear and hidden pride.
In Bhagavad Gita Chapter 2, Verses 8–10, Krishna listens patiently as Arjuna collapses, even as he says, “I shall not fight.” Krishna’s gentle smile holds deep wisdom: Clarity is not about certainty; it is about courage in uncertainty.
