Krishna argues for seventeen chapters, then refuses to decide for Arjuna. Reflect fully, then act as you wish — Bhagavad Gītā 18.63. It’s a rule for judgement, not a method for undoing a choice. The only decision it can reach is your next one.
What it says
You made the call. It went badly. You want it back.
Eighteen chapters of argument, and the last word is: reflect on this fully, then act as you wish.
But that’s an instruction about the choice in front of you, not the one behind you.
It hands the judgement back to you; it never offers a way to undo what’s done.
So spend your two minutes on the next decision instead — that’s the only one the verse can reach.
That’s Ancient Answers, where a modern problem goes back to what the verses actually say.
