Even
His beloved disciple Arjuna could not understand the Divine Power in Krishna
. Arjuna could not believe that the temple of man might become the seat
of the Divine Being. They say that Krishna had to transfigure Himself into
the Divine Form so that Arjuna could see His power and believe in Him.
.
This
means that Krishna helped Arjuna to understand His spiritual majesty and
grandeur
before
Arjuna could find faith in the Lord.
The battle of Kurukshetra took a different
turn
when Arjuna took up arms to obey the Lord.
.
You
know that this battle was the battle between Good and Evil. The Kaurvas,
the cousins
of
the Pandavas, started it. Arjuna , the mighty one among the Pandavas ,
was led by Krishna
to
fight the army of Darkness . Krishna was Argon's charioteer. But Arjuna
did not want to fight his own relatives. His beloved teacher and his friend
were in the army of the Kaurvas. Arjuna tried to argue and laid down his
mighty bow. But Krishna demanded that Arjuna should surrender himself to
Him and follow Him.
.
When
we find the Manifestation
of God and embrace His faith, we must
obey His commands. This is what Krishna taught us in the Gita:
.
"
Surrendering in thought all actions to Me,
regarding Me as the Supreme and resorting to steadfastness in understanding
, do thou fix thy thought constantly on me.
"
Gita
. XVIII, 57
