Gita reflection Ch 11 verses 26 & 27

24th August 2024


Earlier, Lord Krishna had informed Arjuna that he could see what he wished to see in the cosmic form of the Almighty. He shows what would be happening at the end of the Mahabharata war.

Arjuna saw all the Kauravas and many warriors, including Bhishma, Drona, and Karna, entering the cosmic form. His doubt about defeating them had ended.

However, since the Kauravas did not have a reverential attitude toward the Lord, they quickly entered the terrible mouth of the Lord that was filled with cruel teeth. Some were seen sticking within the gaps of the teeth with their heads crushed as they tried to escape!

Those who do not believe in God will naturally be gripped by the fear of death. The individuality in us, which holds on to all the attachments related to this illusory world, cannot let go of the constant fear of losing them.
