Incapable of finding a way out of his dilemma, Arjuna turns to Krsna, Who is playing the role of his charioteer. Since Arjuna is addressing Krsna as a friend, Krsna reciprocates, encouraging him as a friend would do. Arjuna quickly understands that this talk would not lead him anywhere. Friends talk at the same level, therefore rarely a friend can give us a solution for a serious dilemma, even if he has the knowledge to do so. Friends can talk for a long time, arguing and counter-arguing, but this rarely leads to any real solution. There was no time for that. Arjuna understands that Krsna has the solutions for His dilemma, but to access it, he would need to put Krsna in a higher position, so He would be comfortable to correct him and speak the hard truth if necessary. And that’s what he does.
