Guest guest Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 Thus Spake The Lord From that moment, Krishna became the Guru and Arjuna, the Disciple. Arjuna prayed for that status and got it. Until Arjuna accepted that attitude of a learner, his heart was filled with egoism and weakness. The hero had become a zero. He had taken a position the very opposite of that taken up by Krishna. The reason for all this, if you carefully study the situation, it is nothing but "egoism". Prema is the viewpoint of Krishna and Bhrama (Delusion), of Arjuna. He suffered from agony because of that. Then he realized that egoism led only to further ignorance and confusion. He surrendered his judgment to the Lord and saved himself. He said he was but an instrument in the hands of the Lord. Recognizing one's error is the first excellence of a good disciple; it is the beginning of wisdom. Only the foolish will feel they know all and suffer from the dire disease of a swollen head.
