Guest guest Posted June 15, 2004 Report Share Posted June 15, 2004 In the Geetha, Krishna tells Arjuna that the battle has already happened and that Arjuna is only "acting" his role out. Does this mean that even our destiny is already written and we are just following what has already been determined? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 15, 2004 Report Share Posted June 15, 2004 All this has happened before. In fact, you have asked this question before, you are asking it now, and you will ask again. That's the nature of life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theist Posted June 15, 2004 Report Share Posted June 15, 2004 TRANSLATION 2.b (last verse of 4.29) Everything happening within time, which consists of past, present and future, is merely a dream. That is the secret understanding in all Vedic literature. PURPORT Factually all of material existence is only a dream. Thus there is no question of past, present or future. Persons who are addicted to karma-kandha-vicara, which means "working for future happiness through fruitive activities," are also dreaming. Similarly, past happiness and present happiness are merely dreams. The actual reality is Krsna and service to Krsna, which can save us from the clutches of maya, for the Lord says in Bhagavad-gita (7.14), mam eva ye prapadyante mayam etm taranti te: "Those who surrender unto Me can easily cross beyond My illusory energy."
