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.

Hare Krishna!
