Self-Reflection Prompts
- Why is success in life represented by the combination of both Krishna (divine grace/guidance) and Arjuna (focused action)? Why is neither one alone sufficient?
- How does the Gita conclude not with a command to withdraw from the world, but with a promise of victory, wealth, and justice in the active world?

Krishna represents the supreme Self, and Arjuna represents the individual self acting with discrimination. When the individual acts as an instrument of the supreme Self, all actions are righteous, leading naturally to prosperity and liberation.
