The question asked was if some light could be shed on the conversation between Krishna and Arjuna.
In answer to this question, Om swami says that if the gist has to be given, then, it can be said that Arjun was foolish, adamant, ill-tempered and egoistic, but, he was also surrendered to God and he chose God above everything else. Due to this, he got saved, as God stood by him. Duryodhan also had all these negative traits but he was not surrendered. For him, fame and riches mattered much more than God. Om Swami says that surrender is that quality in a person, which, like a brilliant sun can burn all the negative traits of a person into ashes. To take care and look after the well-being of a person who has only doubts, is next to impossible as neither can they be a student nor a teacher.
When Arjun realized who Krishna actually was, he felt very remorseful of how casually he had treated Krishna and he begged for forgiveness and tells him that henceforth he would do exactly as he was instructed by him.
Om Swami says, that actually if you see, there was no conversation between Krishna and Arjun. It was between Arjun and God(Bhagawan). In Bhagavad Gita, whenever Krishna speaks, it has been written as God says and not as Krishna says, as it can be difficult for people to surrender to Krishna, but it is easier surrendering to Bhagawan. He says, that when someone is surrendered, how can there be any questions? And if someone is not then what is the use of questions? For then, they are just looking for more questions to ask and not for answers.
He says that the Bhagavad Gita or the conversation between Arjun and Krishna was solely for the benefit and welfare of humanity.

"From the moment you wake up to the moment you fall asleep, you unceasingly feel such sensations. That is the state of Samadhi. This is my personal experience and anyone can experience it too if they are willing to work for it. Just like ripples are only formed in water and not on the ice, your state of bliss is frozen when in Samadhi. " https://os.me/samadhi-meaning-state-and-the-truth/
