O Krishna, please completely dispel this doubt of mine, for it is not possible for anyone but You to do so.
A Reading - Rantideb
Why: Arjuna asks Krishna to completely dispel this doubt, since there is no one better able to resolve it than him, a direct, humble request for reassurance on exactly this fear.
In life: sometimes what you need most isn't new information but simply direct reassurance from someone whose judgment you trust.
Teaching: it's fine to ask directly for reassurance when a specific fear is genuinely troubling you, rather than assuming you need to resolve it entirely on your own.

Author:
6.39 एतत् this? मे my? संशयम् doubt? कृष्ण O Krishna? छेत्तुम् to dispel? अर्हसि oughtest? अशेषतः completely? त्वत् than Thou? अन्यः another? संशयस्य of doubt? अस्य of this? छेत्ता dispeller? न not? हि verily? उपपद्यते is fit.Commentary There can be no better teacher than Thee for Thou art the omniscient Lord. Thou alone canst dispel this doubt. A Rishi (seer)? a Deva (god)? or a Muni (sage) will not be able to destroy this doubt.
