Sure, here is a simple explanation of Bhagavad Gita Adhyay 1 Shlok 26:
सञ्जय उवाच। तं वचनं केशवस्य कृतवान्यः स गोविन्दः। सुखेन गुह्यमान्यः पुनः शोकमवाप्तवान्।।1.26।।
Sanjaya said: "O King, having spoken thus, Arjuna, the conqueror of sleep, told Krishna, 'I will not fight,' and fell silent. Then, O King, Krishna, as if smiling, spoke these words to him in the midst of the two armies."
In this shloka, Sanjaya continues to narrate the events on the battlefield, noting that Arjuna has spoken of his reluctance to fight and has fallen silent. Arjuna's distress is palpable, and he is unable to find a way forward.
Lord Krishna, however, is undeterred by Arjuna's emotional state. He is described as "smiling," indicating his confidence and composure in the face of adversity. Krishna then speaks to Arjuna, offering him guidance and wisdom on the nature of duty and the role of attachment.
This shloka highlights the importance of seeking guidance and support in times of difficulty. Arjuna is unable to find a way forward on his own, but Lord Krishna is able to offer him the guidance and wisdom he needs to overcome his doubts and fears. It also sets the stage for the ensuing dialogue between Arjuna and Lord Krishna, which forms the basis of the Bhagavad Gita.
