God has given us the ultimate gift, THOUGHT. The gift to think, create, feel and make a lively life. More or less he has given us all the weapons...five senses and able bodies. He has given us the stage to act, the arena to prove ourselves. Why do you stop or blame him? When you are down take a break and lean your head on his shoulder. He is right beside you to console you and guide you. To give you the positive attitude, strength and belief in self. But at end of day your fight should be fought by you, he will not fight for you.
He stands besides you enjoying your victories just like your father enjoying your first step, first words, elated at your winning in running race... You would never have learnt walking if your father carried you on his shoulders right?
Mahabharata - Krishna offered the choice of himself alone without ever handling a weapon in the battlefield or his entire army of soldiers, horses, elephants, etc. Arjuna chose to have Krishna alone rejecting the entire army of Krishna, against which he and his brothers have to eventually fight by default. Any prudent and pragmatic person in the worldly sense might have chosen the army of Krishna, instead of choosing lone and non-fighting Krishna. It was arjuna's faith in Lord Krishna, whom he believed from the depth of his heart as the incarnation of Lord Vishnu that made Arjuna to choose Krishna in preference to his entire army against which he eventually fought and won. Unlike prudence and pragmatism which are the products of a sharp, yet self-defeating, intellect, faith originates deep in the soul and is expressed through the heart in a Divine fashion. From the point of worldly sense it may appear inferior to reasoning. But it defies and rises above reasoning. It is because faith transcends intellectual debate and reasoning
If Krishna fought the war, arjuna would have never become hero. Krishna never used his weapons in battlefield. He just stood beside arjuna to make him HERO. This is one of the key learning’s from the great epic Mahabharata. Don’t expect miracle in place of your hard work, give your best shot, remaining all he will take care.
Sanskrit Sloka
Udarah Sarva Evaite, Jnani Tvatmaiva Me Matam,
Asthitah Sa Hi Yuktatma Mamevanuttamam Gatim !
All those who worship God are commendable. But the outstanding devotees, who worship God with the single motive to merge in the God, are the true devotees who have achieved the highest aim of life.
