Arjuna’s dejection was a case of
finely disguised egoism. He was a hero until he came to the
battlefield and became a coward. It was all about ‘I
and Mine’; “I will go to hell, I would rather
beg, I will not fight my uncle, my Guru, my
cousin, etc.” ‘I and mine’ are two poison
fangs; they have to be removed to make you harmless. Krishna
counselled Arjuna: “You are not killing, so
don’t be conceited, they are deathless; the death
sentence on their bodies has already been pronounced and you
are merely executing God’s will!” Krishna made
Arjuna aware of himself and removed his delusions. Arjuna
realized that he was but an instrument in the hands of the
Lord. You too must learn from that lesson, for otherwise,
there will be no end to your misery. Always pray Thamaso
maa jyothirgamaya - Lead me from darkness to
light. Egoism is darkness (thamas); Surrender
(Sharanagathi) is light.
Bagavan Sri Sri Sri Sathya Sai Baba
