Bhagavad Gita 1-30

na cha shaknOmyavasthatuM bhramateeva cha mE manaHa

nimittaani cha pashyaami vipareetaani kEshava || 30 ||

"Oh Keshava, I feel that I do not even have the strength to stand, my mind is disillusioned and is reasoning out so that I see only extreme consequences.

He calls him Keshava which has many meanings.

a.     The one who killed the demon Keshi

b.     Kah - Brahma, ah - Vishnu and Isa - Shiva which is the trimurti concept

c.     One who has long beautiful uncut hairs

Arjuna continues to explain Lord Krishna his state of mind with an intention to get proper guidance from him. He says is mind is disillusioned and is unable to think straight. His mind is thinking only the extreme adverse consequences of the war especially because those involved and would be affected were related to him.
