Guest guest Posted December 1, 2004 Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 Hare Krishna, The greatest folly of almost all human beings is to presume that they can achieve any task by their own efforts and claim that they need no help from any external agency. Out of pride they will blow their own trumpet forgetting that their success was due to the guidance of a superior power, though unseen. He is Krishna, who is responsible for all our actions. Due to ignorance, people feel that they need not depend on anyone. Imagine 10 persons, all suffering from cancer, being treated by a physician, paying equal attention to all of them and administering the same type and dosage of medicines. But only four survive. The doctor can only do his best to cure but he cannot give a fresh lease of life. Krishna has decided that the other six should die. Hence everyone should realise that they should give up their pride and bow before Lord Krishna, who is the ultimate authority to decide what one should deserve and when. The sun arises and sets only in accordance with His master plan. The cock has been gifted with the capacity of crowing before dawn making man get up from bed. But how foolish would it be if that fowl feels that the sun would have to appear only after it crows. Not only humans but even celestials had once displayed this type of arrogance. The celestials, always used to get defeated, won over the demons once. Suddenly each one of them believed that they possessed the power to carry out any job. There appeared in their presence a phantom which threw a blade of grass in front of them, asking them to move it. Neither fire could destroy it, nor the chief of celestials (Indra) crush it with his thunderbolt, nor wind, with all its force could blow it away. They shed their haughtiness and realised that they derived their power only from the Supreme Godhead Lord Narayana . Even Arjuna, who got decisive support from Lord Krishna, boasted that the war was won by his prowess and that but for him, his elder brother could not have become the ruler. He even slighted Krishna who then took him on a stroll and made him face an ascetic, who carried a sword in his hand. Questioned, he said he intended to do away with Prahlada, who though a great devotee, made God lay in wait and be ready to appear when his father wanted Him; to punish Draupadi who insulted Lord Krishna by giving curry leaf while devotees honour Him with feasts; and stab Arjuna who used Lord Krishna as a servant to win the war and boasted that by his valour he had conquered the enemies. Arjuna was ashamed and wept. All of us should be aware that our acts should be approved by Lord Krishna .
