Bhagavad Gita 18.73

नष्टो मोहः स्मृतिर्लब्धा त्वत्प्रसादान्मयाच्युत।स्थितोऽस्मि गतसन्देहः करिष्ये वचनं तव॥

arjuna uvācha naṣhṭo mohaḥ smṛitir labdhā tvat-prasādān mayāchyuta sthito ‘smi gata-sandehaḥ kariṣhye vachanaṁ tava

Translation

Arjuna said: Destroyed is my delusion. I have gained knowledge through Thy grace, O Immutable one. I am firm, my doubts have fled away. I will do according to Thy word.

What it means

Arjuna said: destroyed is my delusion; by Your grace I have regained my memory; I stand firm, my doubts gone; I will do Your word. The arc completes in one sentence. The warrior who would not fight now chooses to, from clarity rather than confusion.

Try this today

The student's answer: the Gita's entire arc resolves in one sentence - confusion gone, resolve present, action chosen. 'I will do Your word.'

Something to reflect on

What would my 'I am firm, my doubts are gone' moment require?
