Guest guest Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 HARI OM, Yesterday I was listening to a discourse on Mahabharatham . When Pandavas completed their vanavasam and Dhuryodhana refused to return their kingdom, an interesting incidence took place. Both Arjuna and Dhuryodhana went to Krishna for His help in case of a war. Krishna gave them a choice. The choice was either Krishna without weapon or his complete army. Arjuna preferred Krishna instead of His army and Dhuryodhana was very much pleased to receive the army. The story goes like that..... Friends, If we really think little bit more, Krishna gave this choice not only to Arjuna and Dhuryodhana, even today, he gives the choice to every one of us. The choice is either Him or his creations . Majority of us, like Dhuryodhana, go to him only to ask for his creations like wealth, securities, pleasures etc. Only rare atmas like Arjuna will ask only for HIM. We all know that only Arjuna, who chose HIM instead of His army, succeeded in the war at the end. Let us also choose ONLY HIM instead of his creations to succeed in the battle of samsara. HARI OM Regards Srivathsan Your Mail works best with the New Optimized IE8. Get it NOW!. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 Hari-om Gurudevas, Very true. Arjuna succeded becuse of his unwavering faith in the Lord. But in this material world, man forgets his humble beginnings. Overcome with the visions of Maya, he forgets his God and believes the world exists because of his brain power. But what about the super brain that created man's brain ? In the Seventh Teaching, verse 3 of the Bhagavadgita, Bhagavan says : " One man among thousands strive for success, and of the few who are successful, a rare one knows my reality. " Gita 7/3 jai shree krishna !
