Guest guest Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 Thus Spake The Lord The first chapter is better named "Arjuna Geetha" rather than Krishna Geetha. Overcome by sorrow and delusion, Arjuna turns from war and keeps aside his weapons; he is dejected in his chariot, halted between the two opposing forces; he turns this way and that, puzzled and perturbed; he surveys the faces of his kith and kin; he is overcome by pity; his famous bow slips from his grasp, he is too weak to stand or even sit; his mind wanders into the dictates of the Purva Mimaamsa school of thought. He swears he will not engage in fighting. When Sanjaya reported this this to the blind King Dhritharashtra, he was overjoyed, for victory was within grasp! He had neither foresight nor farsight, much less, the Divine Vision; so he felt happy that his dream of an undiminished Empire had come true, without bother. But Sanjaya who had Divine Vision, felt, "What is this insane joy which is affecting him? When the Lord is Himself on the side of the Pandavas, how can this King's wicked plan succeed?" Then he pictured to himself the ghastly consequences of Arjuna jumping into the fray. Source: Chapter 2, Geetha Vahini; Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba.
