KRISHNA AND ARJUN, and The Song of God.

KRISHNA AND ARJUN, and The Song of God.

“I do have trouble with my conscience” , said the snake, “but you speak of Consciousness, what is the difference ?”

“Have you heard of Krishna and his Geeta?” Asked the Yogi.
“Yes”, said the snake. “It was a sermon delivered by God, Krishna, unto man, Arjun ; A warrior, on a battlefield.
Arjun was reluctant to lift his arms against his own kin who stood opposite him on the same ground. Arjun worried about the Dharma, of what was right and what wrong, Krishna guided him about relationships, personal and transpersonal, of duty, of priority, of life, of death, and of consequent action.”

“Let me put it like this” , said the Yogi, “ Krishna is Consciousness. Arjun, is the voice of conscience, that needs to be directed to a higher, all pervasive truth. Each one of us contains a battlefield within. The war, is within, Arjun, is within, Krishna too is within. You must locate that Krishna, and then, he will redirect Arjun.
Actually, Krishna and Arjun are both consciousness, but Krishna is conscious about this and Arjun needs to be made conscious of it.”
