How do we know what is better for me?

While Mahabharta war was about to start, Arjuna asked Lord Krishna to keep his chariot in middle of both the warriors, he wanted to see whom I am going to fight with.

But logically if we think of when the war is already declared then there is no question of seeing the opposite parties but here we can see one weakness of Arjuna and that is Indecision.

Arjuna was little confused should I fight or not, so now he is bewildered  and undecided he turned towards Krishna and expressed the feelings of his heart, “Oh Krishna!, I do not know what is better for me, I should fight with them or I should give up fighting and leave this battle field immediately.

Sometimes we also think, should I do this or should I not? and like Arjuna we are also in dilemma and in confusion most of the times we take wrong decision. So in this situation we must hear what Krishna suggest to Arjuna.

Although Arjuna give so many logic's not to fight with Kaurvas but all his logic was based on his own mind and body level and that was the reason he was also not satisfied from his own decision and finally he take shelter of Krishna.

कार्पण्यदोषोपहतस्वभावः

पृच्छामि त्वां धर्मसम्मूढचेताः ।

यच्छ्रेयः स्यान्निश्‍चितं ब्रूहि तन्मे

शिष्यस्तेऽहं शाधि मां त्वां प्रपन्नम् ॥ 2.7 ॥

Now I am confused about my duty and have lost all composure because of miserly weakness. In this condition I am asking You to tell me for certain what is best for me. Now I am Your disciple, and a soul surrendered unto You. Please instruct me.

So, if we really want to know what is better for me, then we must take shelter of Lord Krishna and Lord Krishna is still there in the form of Bhagwad Gita.

If we keep our little faith on Bhagwad Gita, Bhagwad Gita will reveal with you and guide you every steps in your life.

There are two things in our life, one we think is better for me (Preyas) and things really better for us (Shreyas).

A student thinks watching movies and playing game is better for me but their parent think instead of playing and watching movies study is better for him for his future. So, student think from his Preyas side but parent think from his Shreays side.

Please feel free to share your feedback/comments.



Hare Krishna!

Nectar in the beginning but Poison in end

He was young and belonging from rich family, he entered into the compartment and seated next to me.  Long and stylist hair, branded watch on wrist, iPhone in hand but he was loosing his control. Started abusing someone on phone and shouting out very louder, people was looking at him.  He was fully drunken and started vomiting, people thrown out him out of train and he slayed down at platform. Story is not over yet, I was thinking is this our modern education we are providing to our children and in the name of facilities we are giving them huge money, branded gadgets, but being an guarding do we ever try to esquire what they do and, which type of association they keep?  Once these things comes in their hands they start thinking, no one is greater than me and due to false ego they disrespect elder people.  But one thing they forget, disrespecting elder people only harmful to them because elderly people only teach them morality and good lesson. And being an elder person...

Depression vs Satisfaction

There are two types of people live in this world, one who live a satisfied life and one who goes into depression when something goes wrong in their life. A satisfied person can stay happy all the time in any circumstances but a person who looks for sense pleasure and thinks sense objects is going to give happiness to me always goes into depression, if he does not get pleasure from an objects or person. And the secret of satisfactions is to see opportunity in every aspects whether it is success or failure. Many of us become happy when we get success but become sad when failure comes in our life. We must remember one thing, in our life success and failure is not going to stay forever with anyone. A very successful person has to face even failure sometimes in his life. A satisfied person knows it very well, that is why he does not goes in to depression for his failure but he learn from it and move on. A very beautiful quotes by Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam, "Don't read success stories, yo...
