Bhagavad Gita · Chapter 2: The Path of Understanding

Bhagavad Gita 2.9

evamuktvā hṛṣīkeśaṃ guḍākeśaḥ parantapa | na yotsya iti govindamuktvā tūṣṇīṃ babhūva ha ||

Having spoken in this way to Krishna, O conqueror of enemies, Arjuna said to him, "I will not fight," and fell silent.

Modern context

In one breath Arjuna asks to be taught, and in the next he announces 'I will not fight' and falls silent. People often ask for advice with the answer already decided. Krishna does not take offence; he works with the student he has.
