Bhagavad Gita 18.73 · Arjuna
My confusion is gone
नष्टो मोहः स्मृतिर्लब्धा त्वत्प्रसादान्मयाच्युत।
स्थितोऽस्मि गतसन्देहः करिष्ये वचनं तव॥
naṣṭo mohaḥ smṛtirlabdhā tvatprasādānmayācyutasthito’asmi gatasandehaḥ kariṣye vacanaṃ tava
My confusion is gone. By Your grace I remember who I am. I stand firm, my doubts gone. I will do as You say.
What it means
Arjuna answers. Nashto mohah. My confusion is gone. Smritir labdha. I've remembered, recovered my true sense of who I am. By your grace. I'm standing firm. My doubts are gone. I'll do what you say. Not out of fear, but out of clarity. He has chosen freely.
The story
At the start, Arjuna sat collapsed in his chariot, his bow slipping from his hands. Now he stands. Eighteen chapters, one conversation, a completely different man.
In your life
Remember the moment after a long conversation with a wise friend, when the fog lifted and you knew what to do. Write down one thing this journey through the Gita has helped you remember.
Confusion gone. I remember. I stand.
