Thanks for the Welcome Gyro. Greetings from Kuwait.
My interpretation of those 2 lines ???
I'm just a very ordinary human being gentlemen. I don't think I'll ever have the potential in this lifetime to question/ analyze/ interpret our ancient rishis/ forefathers.
My understanding of those 2 lines are: When Arjuna hesitated to kill his own relatives in the battlefield, Krishna explains the concept of life by telling that "whenever/ wherever righteousness dies in the world and injustice starts prevailing, my dear fellow arjuna (bharatha), I shall come back as a re-incarnation and uphold justice".
Hope I have passed your test. :)
I've been working with Elite Arabs- many of whom have done their PG or Military training in India- and they don't have any issues appreciating Hindu culture as a colourful one. And I can come to conclusions in life only based on my personal experiences.
I have gone to Sabarimala once and I like the concept of TATVAMASI.
I had said .. "..when you are wronged, in deep despair, when all logic n reasoning fails, only faith in god, courage and perseverance can take you through adamantive walls of difficulties. Sanathana Dharma does help you there like a candle-light in utter darkness."
For this I got a cross-examination "But Salil, when you say only faith in god will pass you through the adamantive wall, then are you talking of a definitive period in which that will happen. If not, then you are waiting with time. As it pass there will be a solution is your idea. Faith in god, will give personal comfort. No doubt. But does it solve the problem?"
My reply is "my dear friend, pls read my message again". If needed, read it once more.
Now, my faith in God gives me courage and perseverance to face all adversities in my life.
If you have alternate methods which brings about solutions to problems, thats your life and your faith. Not mine.
Have you ever been thrown inside jail and whiplashed in a foreign country for no mistake of yours Ganesh ram? Has your life taken a 180 degree spin for someone else's treachery? Have you lost anyone very dear to you because of Cancer? Have you seen someone dying in front of your eyes and you just stood there feeling helpless and meek? Do you know what starvation is?
Please tell me Sir.
There are many areas in life where your intellect, rational thinking, analytical powers, connections, political affluence wont take you 1 inch forward. Please remember this. But in those areas your faith in God alone will help you.
Again, this is my experience. My boss, a kuwaiti, who is born with a golden-spoon in his mouth, who doesn't know of any other mode of transport other than his own car n jet, will never understand my values.
"When the push becomes a shove, many people start learning." This is what my english teacher in Chinmaya always used to say.
Salil.
