Guest guest Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 Thus Spake The Lord "This cowardice brings shame on you and even on your far-famed forefathers. Fie on you. You have dragged down the Kshatriya race into disgrace. War is the royal road for your kind, the road which leads to Heaven. How can you escape infamy, if you withdraw from the field now? You have earned the title, Vijaya, by the prowess of your arm. Do not tarnish the reputation you have won by a life-time of effort. Give up this weakening delusion." "Listen to Me; remind yourself of what happened at Amaravathi. You disregarded the approaches of the Divine Damsel, Urvasi and when she wanted a son through your grace, you replied, "Take me as your son." That revealed you as an incomparable hero. The curse that she spelt on you in her discomfiture helped you at the court of the Virata King to pass off as a eunuch, teaching dance to the royal princesses, is it not?" "Where has that heroism gone, tell Me. How has this pusillanimity come over such a stalwart? You came to Me and disturbed Me in sleep with your request for help in this battle, from which you are now running away. Am I to help you thus? Have I to watch while you are fleeing? Pluck this delusion by the roots; reduce this fear into ashes. Become a hero again." Thus exhorted Krishna. Source: Chapter 2, Geetha Vahini; Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba.
