Gita reflection Ch 11 verses 34 & 35

28th August 2024


Arjuna had a deep respect for Bhishma and Drona but harbored anger and intolerance towards Karna and Jayadratha for obvious reasons. 

On the battlefield, there is no room for mercy toward the enemies. Lord Krishna informs Arjuna that He has already seen (in the future) the demise of all the mentioned warriors and more, and assures Arjuna to be unafraid of the upcoming war.

What keeps life interesting is the unpredictability of the future. However, for Arjuna, it was assurance. Listening to the words of Lord Krishna, Arjuna prostrated himself before Him, with joined palms and a trembling body.

Who other than the Supreme Lord, who is beyond past, present, and future, can determine the fate of every soul? He decides the course of the universe that He created for the souls to experience the consequences of their own actions.
