Arjuna's relationship with Krishna!

Verse 1.14.44 (Pooja Mataji):

* We have seen that Maharaj Yudhistira (MY) notices the changes in seasonal things, bad omens etc. He also then notices the dejection on Arjuna's face.
* So he inquires from Arjuna about all possible questions on why he may be dejected. Then finally, he is now confronting Arjuna with the essential question of whether Lord Krishna, his friend, has already disappeared from the vision of the world.
* Because Arjuna is such a close friend of Krishna, MY is inquiring these from him.
* BG 10.1: Lord Krishna establishes this relation between Him and Arjuna - friendship.
* BG 18.64: Krishna is saying "my very dear friend"
* BG 18.65: "Always think of Me, become my devotee..... you are my very dear friend"
* Although BG was speaking to Arjuna, it was actually spoken for the whole world.
* SP comments: concentration of mind on Krishna is the essence behind reading the BG.
