Utilizing the prime example of Arjuna, he illustrates the necessity of abandoning friendly familiarity in favor of the formal submission of a disciple. By doing so, the living entity is freed from the perplexities of material illusion, defeats the false pride of mental speculation, and ultimately achieves eternal shelter at the lotus feet of the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
