"Before action can unfold, understanding must arise; even in the midst of battle, clarity of vision is the true victory."
According to Osho, yes—the battle was halted for several hours while Krishna and Arjuna’s dialogue unfolded. He treats the pause as meaningful: before action, understanding must dawn; clarity of vision precedes the release of arrows. The suspension underscores the primacy of inner guidance (dharma) over haste, affirming that even on a battlefield, meditation and insight take precedence over immediate combat.
Yes—the war paused so Krishna could help Arjuna understand before fighting.
