Abstract
The ethical dilemma begins in the Gītā with the refusal of Arjuna to fight against his own kinsmen the Kauravas. The entire discourse in the Gītā basically offers the reasons by which Kṛṣṇa encouraged and persuaded Arjuna to fight. The aim of this essay is to explore the ethical dilemma in the Gītā faced by Arjuna in relation to adherence to scriptural norms and duties by birth, the compatibility between dharma and karma and its end as Mokṣa.
