Translator:
To him who was despondent in the midst of the two armies, Krishna, smiling, O Bharata, spoke these words.
A Reading - Rantideb
Why: Sanjaya says Krishna smiled at him, not mocked, recognition rather than amusement.
In life: someone who has truly seen this kind of stuck moment before won't laugh at you for being in it.
Teaching: look for people who respond to your struggle this way, with recognition, not condescension, and try to be that person for others.
