It is said that King Dhritarashtra asked a

question and described the battlefield of

Kurukshetra as Dharmakshetra, field of
virtue (The Gita begins with King
Dhritarashtra asking what his sons and
the Pandavas are doing in Kurukshetra).
Referring to his sons he says, 'Mamaka'
that is, those to whom I am bound by
attachment.
Dhritarashtra,
in
his
ignorance, asked a question which really
means, what are the thamo and rajo
gunas (slothful and passionate qualities),
represented by the Kauravas, doing in the
battlefield with the Pandavas who
represent sattvic gunas (pure qualities).
This battle is continually being waged, in
the
body
which
is
the
true
Dharmakshetra, in Kurukshetra which
symbolises the sensory organs. And Lord
Krishna in the form of the consciousness
or Atma is a witness to this battle all the
time. (Divine Discourse, Summer Roses
on Blue Mountains 1976, Ch 3)
