In the purport to BG 1.28, SP explains that Arjuna's fearful symptoms "were

not due to weakness, but due to his softheartedness, a characteristic of a

pure devotee of the Lord.",

 

but, in the purport to the very next verse, SP says:

 

"There is no fear in transcendental realization. Arjuna's symptoms in this

situation are out of material fear - ... material conception of life."

 

There appears to be a contradiction here, at first glance, because we know

that a pure devotee is always in a transcendental position. How do you

understand this?
