Why: then Arjuna, filled with wonder, his hair standing on end, bowing his head to Krishna, spoke with joined hands, describing his actual physical and emotional response, awe mixed with reverence, to what he's just witnessed.

In life: genuine awe tends to produce a real physical response, not just a private thought, and that physical response is worth honoring rather than suppressing as inconvenient or excessive.

Teaching: the next time you experience genuine awe at something, let the physical response happen rather than immediately suppressing it as inconvenient, that physical reaction is a real, honest part of encountering something genuinely significant.
