With these last two teachings, this messed up story of family war and killing because of destiny is concluded. Arjuna finally gives in to Krishna and becomes his personal slave. But what I find interesting is that after Arjuna gives in, Krishna does not tell him to fight, he only tells him that he is enlightened. What I think is that Krishna used the war against family as an excuse to bring out Arjuna's humanly qualities that were holding him back. Krishna took advantage of this by telling him his teachings while what he wanted to get rid of was in Arjuna's head. This way Arjuna was able to reflect in a higher magnitude than if he was just chilling in his home. This book enden up being one of those books that don't seem to make much sence but when you finish it, it's all pulled together. After this sentence I am done with blue people.
