B As a warning meant to frighten Arjuna into obedience without understanding. C As a private doctrine that has no practical benefit for Arjuna’s life.

Question 2

Question 5
How can the qualities in verses 10.4-10.5 guide a seeker practically? A Qualities like truth, forgiveness, self-control, calmness, contentment, and charity can serve as signs of spiritual alignment. B They show that a seeker should chase pleasant states and reject all difficult emotions as unspiritual. C They prove that inner discipline is unnecessary because every state is already perfect. D They make devotion less important by replacing it with personality improvement alone.
Seeing these qualities as rooted in Krishna helps the seeker cultivate sattvic alignment without pretending that difficult states do not exist.
