…expressed his sorrow and grief, saying, “What kind of happiness can be gotten from being envious and violent against one’s own relatives and friends, and after killing them trying to enjoy ruling the kingdom?”
Arjuna was demonstrating dehatma-buddhi, or the consciousness of bodily identification, by thinking that the familial ties of his material body were in fact related to him. Therefore, even though he was a ksatriya, or warrior, by caste and profession, he was abandoning the battlefield, being overwhelmed by material affection and sentiment.
Seeing Arjuna’s illusion, Lord Kṛṣṇa mercifully criticized him. Thereafter, Arjuna accepted the position of being the disciple of Lord Kṛṣṇa.
