Shravanam has been described as most powerful sense to affect . dhratrashtra was blind with eyes but he became blind with antahkaran when he heard the death of bhishma .
In fact it is the ego in false which makes person blind and it happens when one loses the power of wisdom .
Gita in true sense was aimed for dhratrashtra to stop mahabharat happen .
gifted with wisdom eyes by vyas , sanjay turned to dhratrashtra telling that bhishma was killed , dhratrashtra lost his balance of mind .
how it happened ? he asked to sanjay as he was confident win knowing the bravery of bhishma protecting him thru all the live span .
that was the time ,sanjay spoke the gita to blind dhratrashtra told by lord krsna with a view that may stop the mahabharat happen .
even when gita could not open the eyes in heart of dhratrashtra who had gone blind with antahkaran ,vidur opened by scolding him finally .
arjuna wanted to listen gita again after mahabharat but lord denied saying he does not remember now .
If you see ch 18 , arjuna asks about sanyas but lord explains about tyag and not about sanyas , as hear from me the conclusion or the final truth about this abandonment, O best of the bharatas; abandonment, verily, O best of men, has been declared to be of three kinds!.
This was earlier asked by arjuna in ch 5 in 1st shloka also ,as renunciation of actions, O Krishna, thou praisest, and again yoga! Tell me conclusively which is the better of the two.
That is a deep topic to ponder upon .
Both the renunciations as tyag and sanyas have different meaning in different occasions .
Lord anticipated the situation and therefore he did not tell about sanyas at that time .
Arjuna when returned from dwarika after lord left the world , yudhishter suddenly adopted sanyas leaving the kingdom .
Arjuna eyed the gitagyan then and the explanation as sanyas he got then .
Not only krsna but yudhishter also did not want mahabharat therefore he went to drona and bhishma as to avoid the war but bhishma did not agree saying that there is nobody in your force who can kill me .
Drona told the way he can be defeated but it was bhishma who did not .
Seeing no way for defence gita was told to arjuna to live the life in a peaceful manner with a narration , the united one (the well poised or the harmonised), having abandoned the fruit of
action, attains to the eternal peace; the non-united only (the unsteady or the unbalanced), impelled by desire and attached to the fruit, is bound.
