The Question the Teacher Asked Before Speaking
Arjuna collapses in his chariot at Kurukshetra and Krishna does not immediately begin teaching. He waits. He asks Arjuna where this weakness has come from. He assesses. Only after Arjuna says, "I am your disciple, teach me" does the Bhagavad Gita 2.7 mark the moment the teaching can begin. The word Arjuna uses is shishya. The posture he takes is surrender. And that posture is the beginning of adhikara.
