(01:23) chanting

nihatya dhartaraastraan naha

kaa preetih syaa janaardana

paapamevaashrayet asmaan

hatvaitaan aatataayinah

(01:44) to (01:57) Swamiji chanting

nihatya dhartaraastraan naha

kaa preetih syaa janaardana

paapamevaashrayet asmaan

hatvaitaan aatataayinah

The translation says, “What pleasure will we get by destroying the sons of Dhritarashtra, Janardana. Only sin will overcome us if we slay these wrong doers.”

I am seeing the black box of Arjuna. Layer by layer how the engrams are there in Arjuna, and how he is suffering with those engrams. Please understand, when I read this Arjuna-Vishada-Yoga I am hundred percent sure Bhagavad Gita is the book for enlightenment, because, whatever he is talking – the Arjuna’s problem, each verse is one strong engram. Arjuna is caught with so many of these engrams. Krishna is here to destroy those engrams and liberate him and make him express the life in a liberated way.

See I am seeing very clearly, first he says, “swajanam, swajanam, swajanam”, my people, my people, my people. Almost see this old widows sitting in village and crying, “ooh my son!, my daughter!, my father!, my brother!”, the same mood, Arjuna is saying “swajanam, swajanam”, means the parental conditioning, the first layer of engram. Then he comes, all the teachings he learnt, from the Drona, the conditioning of the Acharya, means ordinary dos and don’ts. Please understand, sometime ordinary dos and don’ts create so much of conditionings.

When you see the layer by layer conditioning, of Arjuna, coming out in this first chapter, I can tell you very clearly this book is book for enlightenment. It is not written just to make Arjuna fight or just for Krishna to fulfill His goal of removing the load on the planet earth, bhoobhara, no! It is straight technique, process, method for enlightenment. First layer of conditioning, “swajanam”. And the most funny thing is that conditioning; see all these relatives, relationships everything is created for you to live happily. But see the funny thing, those people are actually going to kill him! Even then the conditioning has become so strong it is ready to go against the purpose for which it is created.
