No happiness in the world will be able to calm you once you realize the guilt hidden behind it.
On the field of Kurukshetra, when Arjuna was narrating about this concerns of getting into the war with his own relatives, Lord Krishna laughed on him because being the God himself and having the divine powers to foresee the future, he was aware about everything.
"Hey Arjuna, you are becoming restless and complaining to me for the people who are not even worth sympathizing! There wasn't a moment when I was not there or you were not there and there will be no time when everyone will be there forever! We come and go, the cycle repeats and it is difficult for humans to understand this cycle.", said Lord Krishna with the mysterious smile on his face.
Explaining the purpose of life, Krishna says "the way we have phases of life- childhood, adulthood, old age, in the same way we get different bodies in every life but the soul remains the same. Change is the rule of life and it is inevitable, the thing that doesn't change is called as a Soul"
Seasons arrive and depart and affected by them our senses also get the feelings of hunger, thirst, happiness, sadness, etc.
These will end one day but the one that never ends is called as a soul
The one that is unaffected by life, gets the ultimate freedom
The person who balances all the circumstances of life smoothly, surely reaches the peaks.
No matter what the age is, just turn back once and think, there were so many moments when you cried and smiled and this will keep on happening ahead as well but only the enlightened one knows that nothing is permanent, time changes!
Lie has no existence, only truth prevails!
Only the learned ones know there is no point in pining for anything as the next moment is going to be different from the current one.
The one who thinks soul dies, isn't aware about the truth and the truth is the existence of soul
The one who understand that soul is the biggest truth, how can he or she kill someone or be the reason for killing someone, digesting this fact means coming in sync with the eternity
We rely more on lies than truth, more on body than soul, the body that is made of soil and will burn in fire one day but important is, the soul which is omnipresent.
Every thing has a shelf life and so does the body. Just like replacing old garments with new when the old ones tear off, same is the process with the soul. Taking a shelter in new body when the existing one takes off.
No weapons can cut the soul, no fire can burn the soul, no water can immerse the soul and no air can dry the soul, soul is not a thing, it has its own existence which is omnipresent.
Soul cannot be personified or thought, it is shapeless, free from deformities and shortcomings!
We are not able to understand soul with our senses because our senses are made for this materialistic world full of emotions towards the mortal things, whereas the soul is immortal!
Accepting the challenge with open heart is a step towards obeying the deeds and accomplishing them. If you don't walk on the path of fulfilling deeds by not rejecting the challenge, you will be committing sins which means moving away from the religion and actively contributing to the bucket of the sin.
Denial to accept the challenge is like expecting the insult and disrespect without even inviting!
Anyone who runs away from the battlefield is a coward and doesn't get any space to adapt because society is full of critics who always wait for the morsel of a gossip, involving the defeat of the unexpected ones. Winning or losing will be secondary as far as you have the courage to accept the open challenge and walk on the path of karma.
Karmayog is the way to get rid of all the hurdles of our life, which couldn't be otherwise!
Knowledge is understanding and Karma is the behavior, both are the ways to reach our destination.
When any decision is to be taken, there is just one thought and mind to it but when there is lack of decision, there are many thoughts and minds behind it.
Vedas also have limitation and just have three ways of life but what is even superior to them, is karmayog! The magic of karma is so big that all the knowledge diminishes in front of it.
Just keep on doing your karma, good or bad, happy or sad, God will take care of rest!
