Bhagavad Gita — Chapter 3, Verse 36

अर्जुन उवाच । अथ केन प्रयुक्तोऽयं पापं चरति पूरुषः । अनिच्छन्नपि वार्ष्णेय बलादिव नियोजितः ॥ ३६ ॥

arjuna uvācha atha kena prayukto ’yaṁ pāpaṁ charati pūruṣhaḥ anichchhann api vārṣhṇeya balād iva niyojitaḥ

Translation

Arjun said: Then what drives a person to commit sin, O descendant of Vrishni, even against their will, as if forced?

Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)

अर्जुन बोले: हे वार्ष्णेय! तो फिर यह मनुष्य न चाहता हुआ भी बलपूर्वक लगाए हुए की भाँति किससे प्रेरित होकर पाप का आचरण करता है?

Commentary

Arjun asks a question everyone has asked: why do I do things I know are wrong, as if compelled? It shows he is now engaging with the teaching personally, not just defending his position.
