Guest guest Posted April 20, 2001 Report Share Posted April 20, 2001 Namaste /\ To a person such as Arjuna overwhelmed with grief, helplessnes and fear, Geeta [2:3], Krishna smiles wonderfully :-) :-) :-) and gives the answer to stimulate the Divine within. Geeta [13:27], Geeta [13:28]. Swami Vivekananda's short summary of 3Shlokas was posted earlier. advaitin/message/9095 Does Krishna's smile alone answer Arjuna's question, or does it add to the subsequent answer of two Shlokas, I don't know :-) With Love, Raghava --- Raghava Kaluri <raghavakaluri wrote: > Namaste /\ > > Swami Vivekananda's thoughts on the Gita, RK > mission. > > To Arjuna who is overwhelmed by self-pity and fear, > Krishna says, > > If there is anything in the world which can be > called > sin ,it is this--- "fear". > > Yield not to unmanliness, O son of Pritha. > There is in this world, > neither sin nor misery, > neither disease nor grief; > If there is anything in the world which can be > called > sin ,it is this--- "fear". > > Know that any work which brings out the latent power > in thee, is Punya(virtue); and that which makes thy > body and mind weak is, verily, sin. > > Shake off this faintheartedness ! > > Thou art a hero, a Vira; "this is unbecoming of > thee".If you can proclaim this message to the > world-then all this disease, grief, sin, and sorrow > will vanish off from the face of the earth in three > days.
