Why didn't we join the battle of the Mahabharata?- According to a legend, Lord Krishna's elder brother Balram explained to Shri Krishna several times that we should not be involved in the war because Duryodhana and Arjuna are both our friends. It is advisable not to take sides on both in times of such a crisis.
But Krishna had no dilemma of any kind. They also solved the problem. He had said to Duryodhan that you should choose either me and my army. Duryodhan selected Krishna's army. The Mahabharata states that one day Lord Krishna's elder brother Balram arrived in the Pandavas camp when the war preparations were taking place.

Seeing Dao Bhaiyya coming, Shri Krishna, Yudhisthir, etc., were very happy and respected by all. After greeting everyone, Balram sat down with Dharamraj and then said with a very distressed heart that "how many times I told Krishna that both Pandava and Kaurav are the same for us." Both are reported to be foolish.
We don't need to get in the middle, but Krishna did not accept me. Krishna's affection for Arjuna is so much that he is in opposition to the Kauravas. Now, how do I go against the side where Krishna is? Both Bhim and Duryodhan have learned the mace from me. Both are my disciples. I have the same affection for both. I don't like seeing these two Kuruvans fighting each other, so I'm going on a pilgrimage," he said.
