संदर्भ और टिप्पणी
On the battlefield at Kurukshetra, Krishna is classifying the kinds of resolve that drive action. After describing sattvic and rajasic steadfastness, he names the lowest form: the mind that cannot release fear, grief, sorrow, sleep, or pride.
आज के संदर्भ में
You keep replaying the same failure in bed at 2 a.m., feeding the fear instead of setting it down. Krishna calls that not strength, but heaviness.

Not every kind of firmness is strength; some of it is just clinging to what keeps you heavy.
