Otherwise there was no other reason, and that too, without Krishna (Bhagavad-gita 7.27). So this inflammation of the insatiable desires create a stumbling block that even though the body is maintained nicely, one is peaceful otherwise also, but these desires make him completely mesmerized under the term sense gratification, and he is simply miserable entity (Bhagavad-gita 3.39). It creates miseries around it... <br><br> It is a struggle. But sense gratification and anarthas, they add into the struggle. It's not escapism, or escaping method to avoid the struggle, but actually they add (Bhagavad-gita 3.40). It's like what they call, "Icing on the cake".

And how much patience He has if He is doing so. Can you imagine? He is waiting. He is calling us - "mam ekam saranam vraja, just surrender unto Me utterly" (Bhagavad-gita 18.66).

Otherwise why He is taking so much time to explain (to) him? The war was supposedly beginning. The conch shells were already blown from both the sides (Bhagavad-gita 1.12-20). It was only a matter of who shoots first. Right? But yet Bhagavad-gita was spoken... <br><br> What we have to understand (is) that if Krishna wanted to force us He would have done so (Bhagavad-gita 18.61). But He is not doing.
