Arjuna's Transformation
My delusion is destroyed; I have regained memory through Your grace. I stand firm, with all doubts removed. I will act according to Your word.
Arjuna's response marks his complete transformation. His delusion is destroyed, his true nature remembered, his doubts resolved. He is ready to act. This is the fruit of the Gita—not passive knowledge but active clarity. Arjuna doesn't just understand; he stands ready to fulfill his dharma. The teaching has accomplished its purpose: confusion has become clarity, paralysis has become purposeful action.
Arjuna said: My dear Krishna, O infallible one, my illusion is now gone. I have regained my memory by Your mercy. I am now firm and free from doubt and am prepared to act according to Your instructions.
This response demonstrates complete integration—doubt resolved, memory restored, readiness for action. The Gita has accomplished its work.

- What the Bhagavad Gita says about purpose
Arjuna's last words are not that he now understands, but that he will act. The conversation ends in movement rather than in a conclusion.
