" karpanyo dhoshaha pahatha swabhava;
prichami thvam dhrama samuda chethaha;
yescheya stha nishchintha bruhi thanme shishyasthe shadhi mam thvam prapanam" --
Arjuna says, in the battle field at kurukshektra... surrending himself before the lord.
Arjuna was disconcerted when he faced his own kith n kin standing in front of him waging the war! he took a step back, when Sri krishna beheld him.
he then describes his fears in a very beautiful way, explaining each and every part of the body and how it acts in fear .... hands can't hold the bow, legs fail to stand, eyes fail to open, mouth trembles....and so on. i don't quite remember the exact quotes..lemme see and come back tomo to post it! its really a beautiful description of fear.
righteous is the step to be taken, and our emotions take a back seat. may wat may come in front of us...righteous path has to be choosen. are we doing this in our life??? question your mind often for the answer...! so..comin bac to kurukshektra, when arjuna was confused of what to do...to kill his own relatives and run away from the war...Krishna says...fight, fight for your Dharma! thats Bhagavat geeta!-- fight! Fight for dharma.
Arjuna then surrenders himself sayin the above verses... only then Sri Krishna starts the geeta paat.
will continue tomo...
