Hare Krishna opinions are like onions know when they need to be sealed and when peeled suppose somebody is dealing with onions when they are transported from one place to another at that time they need to be sealed so that they are preserved but if they are to be used then they need to be peeled so our opinions are something similar there are times when we need to take a decision and move sometimes decisions have to be sealed and this is the understanding I have may or may not be the perfect understanding but life has to move on this is the understanding I have to work with but there are sometimes opinions need to be peeled and ok this was my understanding but does it really make sense why do I think like this on what conception is this particular understanding this particular opinion based is that right sometimes we need to go deep and examine our opinions so if we have overall sense of the purpose of our life then we will be able to decide what needs to be done when there are times when we start with a particular decision but then we realize this is not the right thing Arjuna for example in the Bhagavad Gita his first chapter towards the end gives his opinion saying that I don’t think I should fight this war and he puts aside his bow Vishwamitra puts aside his bow but then he realizes no that’s not the right thing because that still keeps me confused so apparently he has sealed his opinion and expressed it through his action of putting aside his bow but he realizes this is the time to peel the opinion and that’s why he confesses in 2.6 that things don’t make sense for me that I don’t know what I should do he says that so he says to fight or not fight I don’t understand and then he begins the peeling process by surrendering to Krishna and asking for understanding from Krishna and thus he progresses towards illumination Thank you
