THE DAY OF THE LORD by Jay Mazo © 1998

 

An age was going to end. There was no turning back now. A tall man surveyed the

scene that appeared before his eyes. While another sat back quite unaffected by

all that was going to take place. What a contrast this was between these key

actors in the play of life. The soldier had lost all his courage, while the

statesman was detached from the outcome. Everywhere around them all hell was

ready to break loose. The warlords had won the day against those who spoke about

justice and harmony. But the forces who stood for love and compassion would yet

win the outcome. The tall general viewed the field of decision and broke down in

uncontrollable tears. This was the day that he had long feared would happen. The

statesman lived in a world beyond the clouds of human selfishness. He had tried

for so long to bring a just peace, and yet this was all he got for his efforts.

But unlike his friend the soldier, he stood unmoved before the clouds of war

that were gathering. These two friends had gone through so many of life's

challenges together. Now was the final test of friendship. The tall warrior was

paralyzed within and collapsed on the wide-open field of destiny. The statesman

had a heart full of compassion and knew what had to be done to solve life's

problems. The man of peace lifted up the fallen warrior and began to comfort his

friend. The soldier slowly opened his eyes and regained his composure. He looked

into the eyes of the compassionate statesman and suddenly a new world opened up

to his soul. The world filled with all its contentions began to dissolve in his

mind.

 

The statesman now became for the soldier his only saviour in the trials of life.

He opened his mouth, and streams of liberating words flowed out one after

another. From the mouth of the saviour came all the answers to life's many

problems. The music of his heavenly words stirred the heart of the soldier to

ecstasy. There was no more death facing him. Only the growing presence of an

eternal life in the Spirit flooded his awakened consciousness. The soldier had

lost his fear of death with the compassionate saviour in front of him. The

saviour made the soldier realize that he was greater than his mortal body. The

words of wisdom told of a goal that all of mankind would reach. All souls were

sparks from a central sun, and freedom was the destiny of those that followed

the light. A strange music flooded the being of the soldier. All the hairs of

his body stood on end and profuse tears began to be shed. He was no more a

struggler involved in the net of life's desires. He was free from desire and

only longed to feel the bliss that radiated inside his heart.

 

This was not the first person in need that the saviour had rescued. It was

merely his proclaimed duty to free all those who came to him from the bondage of

suffering. This was the mission that would set men free. He saw beyond the

cloudy day into the golden future. But he needed an instrument to accomplish his

play in this world. He told the soldier that long after the battle had ended,

all of mankind would remember their talk that day. Time had stood still and by

the power of the saviour's will, both men had become invisible to all those

mortals trapped on the battlefield of life. This was the day when the realm of

eternity fused with the world of mortality. Such was the power of the words that

the saviour spoke. His words never died. They grew throughout the ages. Even

today they are heard by those who seek the way to become liberated from life's

net of desires. The words of the saviour are immortal because they embody his

consciousness.

 

The soldier felt heaven while still on earth. He realized the source of his

freedom. He knew what he would have to do this day. He was prepared to sacrifice

his ego so that the Universal Will could prevail. He looked into the eyes of the

saviour and saw countless worlds expanding into infinity. He saw the past,

present, and future in the cosmic body of the saviour. There was no difference

between friend and enemy because the spark of divinity flowed through their

soul. This was the day that the warrior had never dared to dream, and yet it

came to pass by the grace of the loving saviour. Everything now fit into its

proper place. The soldier embraced the saviour and bowed to him. Then they both

walked back to their positions in the battlefield. Their conversation seemed to

last for an eternity, but none of the other people could comprehend what they

said. For a brief moment in eternity, heaven manifested upon earth and the world

stood still. But now was the time for action. Although the warrior was the chief

actor in the battle, yet it was the calm compassionate friend that guided his

every move. They were a team in the past and would so remain again this day. The

soldier had nothing to fear with his saviour by his side. Thus they advanced

together into the battlefield of life. That day is eternal when the Supreme Lord

manifests his will on earth. That is the day when the Supreme Lord Krishna

speaks the Bhagavad Gita to the human soul in the form of Arjuna. The message of

the Bhagavad Gita is eternal because the Supreme Lord Krishna radiates in the

soul of every human being on earth that will turn toward the light.
