Guest guest Posted July 1, 2004 Report Share Posted July 1, 2004 (RECORDED BY MISS S. E. WALDO, A DISCIPLE) SATURDAY, June 29, 1895. (The Swami came this morning with a Gita in his hand.) Krishna, the " Lord of souls " , talks to Arjuna or Gudâkesha, " lord of sleep " (he who has conquered sleep). The " field of virtue " (the battlefield) is this world; the five brothers (representing righteousness) fight the hundred other brothers (all that we love and have to contend against); the most heroic brother, Arjuna (the awakened soul), is the general. We have to fight all sense-delights, the things to which we are most attached, to kill them. We have to stand alone; we are Brahman, all other ideas must be merged in this one.
