Get out of the tunnel quickly and Embrace the world[/b]
After Krishna completed his tutorial to Arjuna vide the Bhagvada Gita ; Arjuna was able to see the bigger picture. He realized that he had been vastly self centered and selfish to point out a few.
Krishna helped him to come to terms with the triviality of the fact that , he wasn’t alone and his actions bore the weight of many on his shoulders. The fists that once felt light on contact , now became as morbid as ten Mike Tysons put together. (Go figure!!)
There was this old song my father used to hum every now and then :
oh Re ! Taal mile Nadii ke jall me ,
Nadii mile saaagar meee ;
Saagar mile konse jall me ,
Koi jaaaaane naaaaa……..
# Mukesh
The point is everything is dynamic and interwoven. The whole world is like a single being, breathing in and out. There is a cycle to everything we see. Linear systems never flourish. Feedback should never be put aside. But that is another issue altogether.
Coming back to our point; we are sure to wonder about the time when we acquire this Macro-scope that enables us to see the bigger picture up close.
Bhagvada Gita’s answers this potently as the time when one comes to terms with his importance in life; gathers virtue, poise, and courage to do the needful when the time calls for it.
Many Cultures sprung up over the course of time , shone for a bit and then faded away to oblivion. Let us pause to think where these once glorious cultures are today :
· Greek
· Roman
· Egyptian
· Macedonian
· & Spartan ( don’t answer 300
)The answer is simple – buried within the sands of time. Only some termite-ridden books have remnants of their existence.
On the other hand our rich Hindu Philosophy has been at large from the time Rig-Veda [/b]was passed on by word-of-mouth and so are the Samhitas.[/b]
