Bhagavad Gita 2.4 meaning

katham bheeshmam aham sankhye dronam cha madhusoodana ishubhih pratiyotsyami poojarhav arisoodana
कथं भीष्ममहं संख्ये द्रोणं च मधुसूदन। इषुभिः प्रतियोत्स्यामि पूजार्हावरिसूदन॥

Arjuna said: Krishna, how can I fight Bhishma and Drona in battle, shooting arrows at them? They are men I should honour and worship.

What it means
Arjuna's pain is real: duty is pulling him against people he loves and respects. Many of our hardest choices look like this, where every option seems to hurt someone who matters to us.

How it helps in real life

हिंदी में अर्थ

अर्जुन बोले: हे मधुसूदन, मैं युद्ध में भीष्म और द्रोण पर बाण कैसे चलाऊँ? वे तो मेरे लिए पूजनीय हैं।

अर्जुन की पीड़ा सच्ची है: कर्तव्य उसे उन्हीं लोगों के सामने खड़ा कर रहा है जिनका वह आदर करता है। जीवन के कठिन फ़ैसले अक्सर ऐसे ही होते हैं।

Spoken by Arjuna.
