Na kaankshe

Kim no
rayena govinda, kim
bhoghai jeevitena vaah
Arjuna came to the battle field. His
intention was to eradicate all the enemies from Kurukshetra. He promised his
armies and warriors that he was going to do that and do this. After a great
suffering, endurance, doldrums, misery, etc., they came to Kurukshetra. Every
one was like hot suns to take revenge.
Arjuna requested Krishna to stop his
chariot in the mid of the war field. He wanted to have a glimpse of the
warriors. Krishna stopped the chariot. Arjuna had gone through the lines of
armies and the leaders who were leading them.
Suddenly he entered moham. He felt that whoever was standing there was somehow
or the other related to him. He could not raise his bow and arrow. He dropped
them on the ground. Then he told Krishna that he was not going to fight.
He
clarified his doubts for not fighting, saying that,
1.
No
victory could bring him peace
2.
He
was not any success
3.
No
kingdom could bring him happiness
4.
What
to do with the kingdom
5.
What
were the uses of those enjoyments and finally
6.
Why
should he live in this world?
He started his own way of philosophy.
It was
negative philosophy.
A
non-productive philosophy.
A
philosophy that a warrior should not speak.
It was a
cowardice philosophy.
He was
trying to show thousands of excuses for not fighting.
His saying
was such that he was the doer, he was the sustainer, and he was the redeemer.
He was the
main hero but hurt wholeheartedly.
He had
taken the sole decision saying that even if the enemy won the war, he had no objection.
After
telling whatever he decided to do, still he requested Krishna to guide him in a
right way.
He was
always busy in his own works. He never bothered about the abilities,
strategies, positives and negatives of his fellow men.
He was in a
view that whatever he said would be the final.
