We are Arjuna...

[Guest guest]

Om..<br><br>"Arjuna, whenever righteousness is on

the decline, unrighteousness in the ascendant, then I

take a body Myself. For the protection of the

virtuous, the extermination of evil-doers, and for

establishing dharma (righteousness) on a firm footing, I am

born from age to age." Thus Lord Krishna clarified the

reason for His different incarnations

Himself.<br><br>The Vedas deal with the three states or Gunas of

mind. Become free from dualities, be ever balanced and

unconcerned with the thoughts of acquisition and

preservation. Rise above the three Gunas, and be

Self-conscious, O Arjuna. (2.45)...<br><br>Arjuna said: O

Krishna, what is the mark of a person whose Prajna is

steady and merged in superconscious state? How does a

person of steady Prajna speak? How does such a person

sit and walk? (2.54)<br><br>Prajna means

consciousness, mind, intellect, judgment, discrimination, and

wisdom. The Supreme Lord said: When one is completely

free from all desires of the mind and is satisfied in

the Self by the (joy of) Self, then one is called a

person of steady Prajna, O Arjuna. (2.55)<br><br>A

person whose mind is unperturbed by sorrow, who does not

crave pleasures, and who is free from attachment, fear,

and anger; such a person is called a sage of steady

Prajna. (2.56)<br><br>--The Bhagavad-Geeta. <br>Copyright
