Bhagavad Gita 1.1
धर्मक्षेत्रे कुरुक्षेत्रे समवेता युयुत्सवः। मामकाः पाण्डवाश्चैव किमकुर्वत सञ्जय॥
dhṛitarāśhtra uvācha dharma-kṣhetre kuru-kṣhetre samavetā yuyutsavaḥ māmakāḥ pāṇḍavāśhchaiva kimakurvata sañjaya
Translation
Dhritarâshtra said: On the holy plain, on the field of Kuru, gathered together, eager for battle, what did they, O Sanjaya, my people and the Pândavas?
What it means
The Gita opens with the blind king Dhritarashtra asking what his sons and the Pandavas are doing on the sacred field of Kurukshetra. His question, and his blindness, set the theme: attachment distorts judgment. He calls the field "holy" yet frames the armies as "my people" versus theirs.

Every great teaching here answers a worried person's question. Notice who in your life is 'blind' to a situation and needs an honest reporter.
Something to reflect on
When I am anxious about a conflict, do I seek an honest account of what is actually happening, or only reassuring news?
