The majority of people assume that a religious text will start with courage, faith, and trust. However, the Bhagavad Gita begins in the midst of a battleground, with Arjuna, its primary listener, angry, confused, and terrified. He wants to flee his responsibility, his mind is foggy, and his bow falls from his hands. This is a spiritual plan, not a random placement of weakness. The Gita begins where genuine human struggle starts doubt rather than with knowledge.
