HARE KRISHNA!

PATANTI PITRO HY-ESHAM LUPTA-PINDODAKA-KRIYAH (41)

UTSADYANTE JAATIDHARMAH KUL-DHARMASHCH SHASHVATAH (42)

YAD RAJYA-SUKHA-LOBHENA HANTUM SVA- JANAM UDAYATAH (44)

It would be better for me if the sons of Dhratrashtra, with weapon in hand, were to kill me unarmed and unresisting on the battlefield.

VISRIJYAH SASHARM CHAPAM SHOKA-SAMVIGNA-MANASAH (46)
MEANING
Sanjay said: Arjuna having thus spoken on the battlefield put aside his bow and arrows and sat down on the chariot with his mind overwhelmed with brief
EXPLANATION
In all above verses we can see the grief and unwillingness of Arjuna to fight in the war. He analyses the consequences of the war the tragic situations which would be created after the war, and also he give us the consequences of war on the society where many will be homeless, fatherless and other modes of disintegration of family. Then he says that how he can commit such sinful acts where he will be responsible for all this. Arjuna even wants to leave the enjoyment of royalty to save all this. In the end he puts aside his Gandiva and shows complete reluctance from the war. We can see the extreme of this in the verse 45 where he even decides that even if he is attacked by enemies unarmed and unwilling he would not fight. All this is due to the soft heartedness of Bhagvad Bhakta Arjuna.
Note:-Thus the explanation and meaning of  ShriMad-Bhagvad-Gita chapter 1  as per my consciousness and limited knowledge ends. many apologies if there is any mistake of any nature are there. May I ask almighty to forgive me for that. 



HARI BOL!
