Guest guest Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 Thus Spake The Lord This war was decided on, after long deliberation. It is not a hasty resolution taken in a fit of anger. Responsible elders have weighed the pros and cons and come to the conclusion that resort to arms is inevitable. You and your brothers approved all this and appreciated the decision. You have been preparing for this battle with enthusiasm. In fact, you have been immersed in it more than others. How wrong is it for you now to turn back? This war has not pounced on you in a trice. You have been collecting the wherewithal since long. Remember how you struggled and starved and lived on roots and fruits of the forest, in order to win the Passupatha Ashthra from Lord Shiva, how you went as far as the Loka of the Lord of Gods, Indra, in order to win celestial arrows for this battle? I thought that the moment of destiny for the annihilation they deserved has come for the wicked Kaurava brood; but now you have started this moaning dirge! Why this ominous note? Which Shastra lays down this attitude? Think of your duty as a member of the Kshatriya caste; to uphold Dharma, to protect Justice. Yours is the wealth of courage, adventure and steadiness. But you are overpowered by this strange detachment, which is pathetically out of place. Source: Chapter 2, Geetha Vahini; Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba.
