About This Chapter
Chapter 1 of the Bhagavad Gita shows what happens to a leader before a real battle begins. It explains how problems start with small biases, weak communication, and avoided decisions. The chapter highlights the importance of preparation and clarity before taking action. It shows the emotional struggle leaders face when tough decisions involve their own people. Under pressure, the mind can lose clarity and make giving up feel easier than fighting. Chapter 1 ends at a point where the leader is exhausted and ready to listen. This chapter is not about answers, but about getting the mind ready to receive them.
