@red-Yes, this has been quite a topic of debate. The 'WHY ARJUN' debate😆. I had found an interesting essay regarding this. Quoting the essence:

"A disciple is not a bundle of qualifications and attainments, however high or considerable they may be. A disciple is first and foremost an aspiring soul. He may not have high qualities to his credit; on the contrary, he may have what one calls serious defects, but even that would not matter if he possessed the one thing needful, the inescapable urge of the soul, the undying fire in the secret heart. Such was Arjuna's capacity; herein lay his strength, his spiritual superiority. It was because he could be so intimate with the Divine as to call him his friend and companion and playmate and speak to him in familiar and homely terms - even though he felt contrition for having in this way perhaps slighted the Lord and not paid sufficient regard towards him. Yet this turn of his soul and nature points to the straightness and simplicity and candidness that were there and it was this that helped to call in the Divine and the Divine choice to fall upon him.
Arjuna's doubts and depression, misgivings and questionings are what more or less every aspirant has to pass through when he arrives at the crucial point of his soul's journey and has either to choose the higher curve or follow the vicious circle. And at this threshold of the spiritual journey what is required of the true aspirant, the ideal disciple, is the resolution to face the situation, to go through to the end at the command and under the loving guidance of the Master. On this line Arjuna stands for us all and shows, by his example how we can take courage and march out of the inferior nature into the peace and light and power of the higher divine nature."

Source-Arjuna-The Ideal Disciple by Nolini Kant Gupta.

"Arjuna ultimately became the spiritual child of Sri Krishna. Sri Krishna ultimately became the loving slave of Arjuna's surrender."

@Medha- Very well written 👏.

Though I was never aware of any talks of lack of faith between the two. From where did this speculation arise?😊

You know people.The fact that even though Krishna is supporting his decision, he is hesitant to Fight. That makes people think that he was having doubts on Krishna.😆

Also , he questions that how can he have given Gita Gyan to Suryadeva millions of years ago. That is apparently him doubting the Divine.

All though when Arjuna sees the Viraat Roop, he is dumbfounded and exhilarated but in the end, he still wants his Friend back. He asks the Divine to take back that form of Krishna who is his beloved friend. He is content to know that Krishna is the Supreme Lord but he still loves Krishna and would rather have his friend back. And then he continues to do what Krishna wants him to do and lets him be his charioteer. He is just simply following Krishna's wish.😆
