Gita reflection Ch.1 verses 3 & 4

 16 January 2024


Verses 3 & 4

  • दुस् means hard and योधन is to fight. दुर्योधन is hard to fight with. He represents the ego that has the support of all negativities in us, which are large in number.
  • He is the product of a blind mind and blindfolded intellect.
  • When the positive values are organized with the help of the Lord, the ego gets agitated and looks for help from भीष्म the terror, and द्रोण the vengeful teacher.
  • The word धृष्टम् means courage and द्युम्न means enthusiasm. The one who has both courage and enthusiasm is धृष्टद्युम्न. To face the negativities in our lives we should have both courage and enthusiasm.
  • Ego cannot stand inquiry; ऋज् means firmness with determination. अर्जुन  symbolizes this and when we stand firm on positive values without fear (भी+मा), the ego cannot but get frightened.
