Arjun the supreme warrior, his war attire on, in the battle field on his huge chariot. His massive bow in his hand, an arrow ready to fire...an arrow with the power to kill a 1000 men in a single blow and the aim so precise that he could hit the eye of a moving fish in water, a 100 times, without a single miss...
..guided by the handsome, cunning yet logically clever, the supreme statesman, Lord Krishna as his companion - as his faithful chariot driver driving him skillfully in the midst of the battle.
The enemy - Arjun's own 100 brothers, his own teachers and the elders he respects and their army.
But Arjun is NOT ready to fight. He can not understand why he has to slay his own brothers, his own elders and the people he loves just so he could win the war and eventually, a state. He is confused and looks at Krishna his friend and the chariot driver, for guidance. He asks him if he knows what is going on.
Lord Krishna smiles knowingly and halts the moving chariot. The Lord knows what needs to be done now. Arjun clearly needed to know the truth as it is. The world needed to know the truth as it was. It couldn't be hidden anymore.
The Lord stands up, and lifts his hand and shows the sky the palm of his right hand.
The result is instant and humongous - With the raising of the palm, the Lord did the IMPOSSIBLE. He commanded the all encapsulating, the almighty TIME to STOP.
Time froze for unaccountable minutes, maybe hours, maybe days, maybe years. No one knows. And with the stopping of time, the universe froze. The Gods stopped what they were doing and paid attention to what was going to be the 'is all and know all' of all things human !! The ultimate Gyan by the maker of the Universe himself.
Arjun couldn't believe what was happening. He fell on his knees with hands folded and said, "Tell me my Lord..tell me." Krishna turned, faced the confused warrior on his knees and said..
"Yada Yada Hi Dharmasya
Glanirva Bhavathi Bharatha
Abhyuthanam Adharmasya
Tadatmanam Srijami Aham
Paritranaya Sadhunaam
Vinashaya Cha Dushkritaam
Dharma Sansthapnaya
Arthaya Sambhavami Yuge Yuge.."
"यदा यदा ही धर्मस्य ग्लानिर्भवति भारत, अभ्युथानम् अधर्मस्य तदात्मानं सृजाम्यहम् |
परित्राणाय साधुनाम विनाशाय च: दुष्कृताम, धर्मं संस्थापनार्थाय सम्भावामी युगे युगे ||"
“Whenever and wherever there is decay of righteousness, O! Bharat and rise in un-righteousness, I shall manifest myself."
or..
Whenever and wherever there is a decline in religious practice, O descendant of Bharata, and a predominant rise of irreligion--at that time I descend Myself.
He further said...
O' brave warrior - the enemy you see is not many but one. That enemy is 'EVIL'. And YOU have been chosen to destroy it...so that righteousness triumphs. Do not hesitate for a moment, do not falter, do what you have been chosen to do.
Arjun, This is my lesson to you and all human kind - Never think of the 'result'. Only your deed. For, once you have done your very best of what you have to do...you reach the extreme limit of what is humanly possible. You CANNOT go beyond.
And since you cannot go beyond...what happens after; the deciding result of your deed - is NOT for you to decide or understand. Leave that to me. What has to be, will be !!"
Lord Krishna said, "Do your Karma, O' great human and leave the rest to me.
TRUST ME. HAVE FAITH."
