Character Sketch🔗

• Śakuni, the maternal uncle of Duryodhana embodies the pattern of self-hatred, which is cunningness personified.
• Droṇa represents all the best knowledge one imbibes and the teachers one encounters, who guide us but are unable to take us through to the ultimate flowering of enlightenment. It is difficult to give them up since one feels grateful to them. This is where the Enlightened Master, the incarnation steps in and guides us.
• Duryodhana, represents one's ego or root-pattern, the most difficult to conquer as it leads one to self destruction. One needs the full help of the Master here. It is subtle work and even the Master's help may not be obvious, since at this point, sometimes the ego makes us deny and disconnect from the Master as well.

• Karṇa is the repository of all good deeds and it is his good deeds that stand in the way of his own Enlightenment. Śrī Kṛṣṇa has to take the load of Karṇa's puṇya, his meritorious deeds, before he could be liberated. The Enlightened Master guides one to drop one's attachment to good deeds arising out of what are perceived to be charitable and compassionate intentions. He also shows us that the quest for and the experience of enlightenment is the ultimate act of compassion that one can offer to the world.

Bhagavan Ṣri Kṛṣṇa, the 8th most powerful purnāvatar of Ṃaha Viśnu, is the embodiment of pure celebration, boundless love, compassion, and completion.

Bhagavan Ṣri Kṛṣṇa is the only incarnation demonstrating and expressing Ṣarva Ṃangalatva all the auspicious qualities and all dimensions of an avatar during His physical happening. The līla Bhagavan Ṣri Krsna is one of sheer innocence and simplicity, in a peace-loving, diplomatic, conflict-free way.

Till now everyone blames Bhagavan Sri Krishna for this Kurukshetra war but that's the greatest sacrifice Bhagavan Sri Krishna did to save the planet Earth. If Kurukshetra was not conducted at that time under the controlled conditions and direct supervision of Bhagavan Sri Krishna, planet Earth would not have survived more than three years.

simplicity, in a peace-loving, diplomatic,

Bhagavad Gītā appears in the heart of Mahābhārat in Bhīṣma Parva, the sixth chapter of its eighteen chapters. Veda Vyāsa, the narrator, in glorifying the Gītā sings, 'the one who drinks the water of Ganges (the sacred river for Hindus) attains liberation, what to speak of the one who drinks the nectar of Gītā?

Gītā is the essential nectar of the Mahābhārat, bhāratamṛta sarvasvam as it is directly spoken by Nārāyaṇa, Bhagavān kṛṣṇa Himself.'

The armies assembled in the vast field of Kurukṣetra, now in the state of Haryana in modern day Bharat. All the kings and princes were related to one another, and were often on opposite sides. Facing the Kaurava army and his friends, relatives and teachers, Arjuna was overcome by remorse and guilt, and wanted to walk away from the battle out of total powerlessness unbecoming an invincible warrior among warriors.

Śrī Kṛṣṇa's dialogue with Arjuna on the battlefield of Kurukṣetra out of His utmost concern and love for him and humanity is the content of Bhagavad Gītā. Of its seven hundred and forty-five (745) verses, Bhagavān Śrī Kṛṣṇa sings the Gītā in six hundred and twenty (620) verses responding to Arjuna's fifty-seven (57) enquiries.

Śrī Kṛṣṇa persuades Arjuna to give-up his powerlessness unfitting an Ārya—the spiritually evolved one who understands human life and urges him to raise himself again as Parantapa—the conqueror of enemy, and take up arms and vanquish his enemies. They are already dead,' says Śrī Kṛṣṇa, 'All those who are facing you have been already killed by Me. Go ahead and do what you have to do. That is your responsibility. Do not worry about the outcome. Leave that to Me.'

māmupetya punarjanma duḥkhālayam aśāśvatam nāpnuvanti mahātmānaḥ saṃsiddhiṃ paramāṃ gatāḥ

After attaining Me, the great souls who are devoted to Me in yoga are never reborn in this world. This world is temporary and full of miseries and they have attained the highest perfection.

Powerful Cognition

After attaining Krishna the great souls who are steepted in yoga never return to this temporay world which is full of miseries becasue they have attained the highest perfection of the state of blissful thoughtlessness

ā-brahma-bhuvanāl lokāḥ punarāvartinorjuna māmupetya tu kaunteya punarjanma na vidyate

From the highest planet in the material world [brahmaloka] down to the lowest, all are places of misery wherein repeated birth and death take place. One who reaches My abode, O Kaunteya, is never reborn.

Powerful Cognition

If we achieve one glimpse, it's over. That one glimpse acts like a conscious torch, and guides us through these seven layers when we leave the body.

sahasrayuga-paryantam aharyad brahmaṇo viduḥ rātriṃ yuga sahasrāntāṃ te'ho-rātravido janāḥ

By human calculation, a thousand ages taken together is the duration of Brahma's one day. His night is just as long

Powerful Cognition

One year for us is one day for the devatas, demigods. For Brahma, a thousand ages are taken as one day. Time is actually not chronological, but psychological. If we can stop the next thought from happening within our inner space, our kṣaṇas can be increased to any extent. It can extend to eternity.

avyaktād vyaktayaḥ sarvāḥ prabhavanty aharāgame rātryāgame pralīyante tatraivāvyakta-saṃjñake

From the unmanifest, all living entities come into being at the beginning of Brahma's day. With the coming of Brahma's night, they dissolve into the same unmanifest.

Powerful Cognition

all living entities arise From the unmanifest, and dissolve into the same unmanifest.

Introduction Now He says, 'After attaining Me the great souls who are steeped in yoga never return to this temporary world, which is full of miseries, because they have attained the highest perfection.' The understanding of this science, the very intellectual understanding, gives the inspiration to experience truth and naturally leads us to the ultimate Truth. Here Kṛṣṇa says, 'If you achieve this state, you never come back.' He inspires us; He persuades us to enter that state, to enter thoughtless awareness.

The only job of an Enlightened Master is to make everyone realize the truth that he himself has experienced. That is the only aim. There is no ulterior motive or vested interest. People again and again look at an Enlightened Master with suspicion. They suspect foul play.

Understand one thing: A person who remains at the inner source of bliss never cares for anything external. Please understand that he does not need external sources of happiness because he has something more powerful. The inner guide is so powerful that the being is always blissful. That is the reason he does not see the world as a collection of miseries. You see, an enlightened Master may not get food for days, yet he is always blissful. Even in such situations, the only things that he experiences are gratitude and compassion.

THE PATH TO ATTAIN SELF

One more thing, an enlightened being surrenders everything that he has and gets, to Existence. When he gets food, he surrenders that; when he is hungry for days, he surrenders that to Existence. whether he has money or is in poverty, he is rich inside because he surrenders everything. He says, 'Let Existence take care.' All his responsibilities are handed over to Existence.

There is a great relief inside when that state of surrender happens. We suddenly light up in joy. We consider something as misery because we think we are responsible for that something. We think we control it. That is why, when something does not happen according to our expectations, we see it as misery.

But an Enlightened being is not like that. He simply flows. Whatever comes, he accepts it and surrenders it to Existence.

Kṛṣṇa says here: 'From the highest planet of Brahmaloka in the material world down to the lowest, all are places of misery wherein repeated birth and death takes place. But one who attains Me, one who attains My being, one who attains My consciousness, never takes birth again.'

Please be very clear, even if we are caught in doing good deeds, we return. Our good deeds, puṇya, cannot give us enlightenment.

"I tell people, 'Even if you give money for my ashram, I cannot give you a speed pass to enlightenment!' I cannot give you any speed pass. Be very clear, unless you have the conscious glimpse, unless you achieve at least one moment of thoughtless awareness, nobody can save you from the cycle of birth and death."

one glimpse of consciousness

If we achieve one glimpse, it's over. That one glimpse acts like a conscious torch, and guides us through these seven layers when we leave the body. We will walk beautifully; we will slide through all seven layers. The enlightened Master's initiation is the torch of consciousness that guides us through this path, through our living and leaving.

Vivekananda says, 'If you achieve even a single glimpse, you leave your body in that experience.' It is because this intense experience of Self-realization will come up at the time when we leave the body. At the time of death, our whole life is played back to us in a fast-forward mode in a few seconds. And only the important scenes appear in multicolor again and again; all other scenes appear in black and white.
