Self-Reflection Prompts
- Arjuna says he 'regained memory' (*smṛtir labdhā*). Why is enlightenment described as remembering something we forgot, rather than learning something brand new?
- What does it mean to act out of 'Your word' (*vacanam tava*) rather than your own personal likes and dislikes?

18.73
अर्जुन उवाच
Delusion is the cause of all bondage, causing one to mistake the body for the Self. Its destruction by the rise of self-knowledge marks the end of samsara. Arjuna is now a Jivanmukta (liberated while alive), ready to act without attachment.
