Shama & dama - (Part 2 of two). Adapted from Kanchi Mahaswamigal's Discourses

[Guest guest]

Dear Sir,

It is very heartening to hear these verses from the gita so

very well stated by you, but even as I read these verses, a thought

keeps me in intrigue about the personality of Sri Krishna and the

wonderful gita that he has given unto mankind

Gita, as is stated, in the above verses clearly outlines the

necessity to draw away from the sense objects as the tortise would

from her enemies, but as far as I know Krishna was scarcely of the

types, he was by far the most worldly of the dashavatars, also there

is a stage in the geeta where the Lord denonces the fleeing from the

worldly duties and therby its connected fallouts, so how does one

justify the true meaning of renonviation of the action.

This is also stated from the fact that Krishna is the

purushottama, the prefect man, so would a perfect man also be prey

to the senses and if he has not what is the jsutification of him

having enjoyed life the way he alone can!!

I would like to put the same into practise for I feel, this

world of Brhama wasw given to be enjoyed not shunned

With Regards

Namaste:

 

There is a clear distinction between Ramaavatar and Krishnaavatar.

Sri Rama is the example for the perfect human being - the divine

personality in human form. Rama possessed the ideal qualities -

Viveka, Vairaghya and Shad-Sampat and the entire Ramayana describes

the Role-model for all of us to follow.

 

Krishna on the otherhand was a divine personality in the entire

Mahabharat and human beings can't imitate the behavior exhibited by

Lord Krishna.

The saying, " Do What Rama Did and Krishan Said. "

 

Please contemplate on the above saying, you may be able to resolve

the doubts that occured in your mind while reading ProfVk's post!

 

With my warmest regards,

 

Ram Chandran
