Sanjaya said: Having spoken thus to Hrishikesha, the Lord of the senses, Arjuna, the conqueror of sleep and destroyer of foes, said, "I will not fight," and became silent.
A Reading - Rantideb
Why: after the flood of words in chapter 1, Arjuna goes quiet, 'I will not fight,' and stops.
In life: sometimes there's nothing left to say and the honest move is silence rather than more argument.
Teaching: let silence be a legitimate stopping point in your own hard conversations, not something you have to fill immediately with more words.
