Bhagavad Gita · Sankhya YogaChapter 2, Shloka 3 (2.3)

Two words — "klaibya" and "hṛdaya-daurbalya". Krishna gives Arjuna's state two names. Klaibya — lack of courage (Shridhara: kātarya). Kṣudraṃ hṛdaya-daurbalyam — "petty weakness of heart". Notice: Arjuna's arguments were serious (dharma, family, sin); Krishna calls them not a matter of reason but a weakness of the heart. That is, Arjuna's arguments were really an emotional state dressed in the clothes of reasoning.

"Naitat tvayy upapadyate" — this does not suit you. Krishna reminds Arjuna of his true identity — "Partha" (son of Kunti), "Parantapa" (scorcher of foes). Many teachers see this as the way of a good guru: calling the disciple not by his weakness but by his true capacity.

"Uttiṣṭha" — rise. In 1.47 Arjuna had sat down. Krishna's first command — rise. This image of standing and sitting returns again.

Is Krishna only scolding? Arjuna will not agree with this (in 2.4 he will push back at once). This shows that a scolding or a motivational line alone is not enough — Arjuna needs understanding. That is why the long teaching follows. This is the Gita's honesty: a deep crisis is not resolved by a "motivational" sentence.
