Guest guest Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 Thus Spake The Lord But Arjuna had tear-drops falling down his cheeks. There were whirlpools in his eyes. Even the Lord could not bear the sight; He could not remain silent. He felt the pulse-beat of Arjuna and diagnosed the malady. He knew in a trice that the malady of Moha (the delusion caused by false evaluation) has penetrated his three bodies: the Gross, the Subtle and the Causal. The pity that enveloped Arjuna was not 'genuine', He saw. For genuine pity will be endowed with Daivi Sampath (Divine elevating impulses and motives); it will not disregard the orders of the Lord. It was really egoism, under the veil of pity. So the Lord decided to cure him of that weakness, "Kripayaavishtam"' the Geetha says. Arjuna was helpless, "overwhelmed by pity," and that had to be cured. Just as a spirit entering a person has to be exorcised, Arjuna has to be freed from fear and cowardice. For he who has the Lord by his side need entertain no fear. What can any 'bhooth' (spirit) do to one who is the Lord of all the Five Bhuthas (elements)? "Vaidyo Narayano Harih." The Lord is the Supreme Doctor. Narayana was the Doctor Arjuna needed and got. Source: Chapter 2, Geetha Vahini; Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba.
