Subject: Contradictions In The Gita Help One To Think (See TOI Speaking Tree
Today)
Times Of India / 19th AUGUST '09 / PAGE 18/ THE SPEAKING TREE
Contradictions In The Gita Help One To Think ...Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
Truth is contradictory; if it is not contradictory, then it is not truth!
The Bhagavad Gita is full of contradictions. You can understand it only if you
see it in totality.
At one point, Krishna tells Arjuna that action is the most important thing
and without action one will be nowhere. But after that, He tells him that
action is all right but knowledge is better! Then Krishna says, ''You must
become a yogi and drop everything around you.''
Krishna tells Arjuna in Chapter Six that since he is confused, there is no
use talking. He asks him to meditate. Finally, He says, ''He is the
greatest amongst yogis who keeps Me in his heart whether he meditates or not.
He is the real yogi, because I am with him in whatever he is doing.''
At one juncture, Krishna says, ''Arjuna, there is nobody dear to me,
nobody whom I love.'' And then gives a whole list of qualifications for
those He really loves!
In another instance, Krishna tells Arjuna to act without looking for the
fruit of action. Later, He asks Arjuna to act properly, according to natural
law. Then He tells him that he ought to fight if he wants to win the war. So,
at this point He is bringing Arjuna's attention to the fruit of action, but
then He also tells him not to worry about the fruit of action.
Krishna was like a dear friend to Arjuna. In the Bhagavatam, except for
Vidura and Udhava, nobody even thought he was enlightened; they all thought
that he was just very smart. The Pandavas and the gopis knew who Krishna was
and how complete He was from all angles. But many of them, including Arjuna,
did not see him that way. Krishna, however, shows him that He is infinite.
Krishna tells Arjuna, ''I will give you a special eye of knowledge,
which I haven't given anybody in ages. I am giving it to you now because it
is time.'' With that, He gives him a vision. For that one moment the
universe appears as a manifestation of Krishna to Arjuna.
Arjuna sees all of creation, everything – the mountains and the rivers,
the past, the present and the future – dissolving in Krishna. For an instant,
the whole of life, the universe, all memories play out like a movie and it
frightens Arjuna. Then Arjuna pleads, ''Oh! Please show me your simple,
natural and friendly face. I like your simple smile and I want to see my
friend. I don't want to see anything beyond. It is too much for me.''
This is called Vishva Roopa Darshana – the vision of the universal.
Thereafter, Krishna tells Arjuna about the yagyas, principles and laws of the
universe. Then He talks about sanyasa and how to be centred. Arjuna tells
Krishna that what he says is not easy to follow. Krishna says, ''I agree…
It is difficult but not impossible. With practice, dispassion and by getting to
the centre again, you will succeed.''
Krishna tried everything. Finally, it was the display of the universal
vision that worked on Arjuna. When Arjuna says, ''I give up,'' Krishna
says, ''Think and do whatever is best for you after pondering over what I
have said." And then Arjuna says his mind is now clear. Krishna had to speak
through 18 chapters to get him to that point. He could have done it at the very
first chapter. But the way this knowledge flows is really beautiful.
Everything may appear to be all contradictory from all angles. But that is
reality!

Subject: ANANDJI ROCKS SOUTH MUMBAI IN SEPT
Jai Guru Dev Dear One,
WHY DID GURUJI MAKE THE DSN FOR YOU?
His Holiness Sri Sri Ravi Shankar:
"You are putting yourself in such a cocoon and you are rotting inside your
cocoon. You are unable to come out of it. And you keep judging, Oh, I dont like
this, I dont like this. DSN--Just do it one day! All the barriers, the
boundaries that you have put on yourself will disappear. You will become like a
child again! I put the DSN together for action. Love in action is DSN!
DSN uplifts your energy. All dormant energy becomes more active. And all that
shell –cocoon-- all that thing that you put around you, they just drop off.
More glow comes to your personality!"
Watch n Listen to Guruji on the DSN:
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-3942956961005103077&q=DSN
"I felt the freedom of realizing that my limits were of my own doing, imposed
on my nervous system from years of programming. After the DSN, I was bold
around those who are often intimidating, I was focused when we had a problem,
and I felt — and expressed — a lot of joy and happiness. And do you know
what? Peopled were attracted to that positive energy. It was fun to observe!"
-William Hayden, NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, Maryland, USA, DSN w/
Anandji USA
"I have learnt, experienced and assimilated more from the DSN course than
what I could have learnt from books, management courses and wise teachers."
-Ashish Parikh, Stock Broker, Mumbai, B.Com Mumbai University gold medallist,
LLB - Mumbai University merit list, CA - gold medallist All India, DSN w/
Anandji, Mumbai
"This course is about deriving profound knowledge with loads of fun...the
best combination ever!"
