Why: Arjuna says seeing this gentle, human form again, his mind has returned to its natural state, describing a genuine settling and recovery rather than simply moving on unaffected.
In life: recovering your composure after an overwhelming experience is a real, distinct process worth acknowledging, not something that should be assumed to happen instantly or be skipped over.
Teaching: after your own overwhelming experiences, give yourself explicit credit and space for the actual process of your mind returning to its natural, settled state, rather than assuming you should have already moved past it immediately.
