I welcome you all with my love and respects. Now I’ll enter into the 36th verse, first chapter, verse 36.

(01:55) to (02:11) Chanting

निहत्य धार्तराष्ट्रान्नः का प्रीतिः स्याज्जनार्दन।

पापमेवा श्रयेदस्मान्हत्वैतानाततायिनः।।1.36।।

nihatya dhartaraastraan naha kaa preetih syaa janaardana

paapamevaashrayet asmaan hatvaitaan aatataayinah

(02:12) to (02:29) Swamiji repeats the chanting

The translation says, “What pleasure will we get by destroying the sons of Dhrutraashtra, Janardhana, 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 Dhrona, the conditioning of the Aacharya, means ordinary do’s and don’ts. Please understand, sometime ordinary do’s 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. Understand, step by step the conditioning of Arjuna. First he expresses, “swajanam, swajanam, swajanam”, 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.

The meaning of the word ‘corruption’ is ‘when it goes against the purpose for which it is created, it is called corruption’. Food, it is created for bringing health, and energy. When it goes against the purpose, you dump so much inside, neither it brings energy, nor it gives health. After finishing you feel like (enacts), you feel dull, and you feel like sleeping, then, corruption, in the food is happening in your life. Please understand, don’t think food poison happens in your life only if you vomit and show the symptoms of poisoning. If you are eating, and not becoming energetic and healthy, then corruption in the food has started. In everything, Government is created to protect people and the same fellows are swindling the people, means corruption. The moment you are going against the purpose for which you are established, it is corruption.

See here, Arjuna is started having all this relationships, in his life to enrich his life, finally his life itself is going to be taken away, but, the relationships looks very strong, even if they are directly fighting against him. I am not telling you to be dry, dull, cruel – that’s the right word – cruel, dry, lonely, boring, depressed guy. No, I am not asking you to be like that. All I am saying is, see that corruption, does not happen, in your conditioning, about the sentiments and relationships.

Story for you guys. There was a Local United Way office. See, Local United Way is a charitable organization, international charitable organization. They collect donation, money from people and do some community service. Local United Way office realized, that the organization have never received a penny donation from the town’s most successful lawyer. The person in-charge of donations, contributions, called the lawyer to persuade him to contribute. He calls and says, “Sir, our research shows, you are the most successful lawyer in the whole town, and you make almost million dollar a year, would you not like to give little back to the community, doing some social service? would not you like to give back to the community, in some way?”

The lawyer mulled this over for a moment and replied, “Sir, did your research show my mother is dying after a long illness, and has medical bills that are several times her annual income?” Embarrassed, that United Way representative, said, “mmm, mmm.. I don’t know.” The lawyer continues, “Do you know that my brother is disabled, blind and confined to wheelchair?” The United Way guy began to stammer. Again lawyer started, “Do you know my sister’s husband died, in a traffic accident, leaving her penniless, with three children?” Now the representative is completely humiliated, beaten. He said, “Sir, I had no idea about all this”. Then lawyer comes, “Understand, I don’t give single penny even to all of them, why should I give for you?”

I am not asking you to be like this, lawyer, No..! All I am asking is, take care, the corruption does not enter into your relationships. Means, what for it was created, as long as that serves that purpose, ok. Not more than that. Here, Arjuna is rushing, “swajanam, swajanam”, “Swajanam, swajanam”. Then next comes the Arjuna’s conditioning – all the teachings he learnt, “Why should I steal other’s property? Why should I covet kingdom from this guy, from this Kauravas?” Then comes social conditioning, social commitment. After all, he was a king, so all this Manu-Neeti, the laws of society, conditionings of society. This guy, who has married from almost every available community, he is talking about mixing of the communities, to Krishna. It’s not that Arjuna is married only to Kshatriya girls; No..!

(14:43) to (14:57) Swamiji chanting the verse.

निहत्य धार्तराष्ट्रान्नः का प्रीतिः स्याज्जनार्दन।

पापमेवा श्रयेदस्मान्हत्वैतानाततायिनः।।1.36।।

nihatya dhartaraastraan naha kaa preetih syaa janaardana

paapamevaashrayet asmaan hatvaitaan aatataayinah

He is in hurry, Arjuna is in a hurry, to convince Krishna. He is not even having patience to look around, to see. In hurry when you rush, what you do, you always end up in accident.

Here is a story for you guys. There was one guy standing at a bar, just looking at his glass, staring, staring, staring almost for one hour. Then suddenly a truck driver looking like a villain, who is a local rowdy, rushes straight into the bar, looks at that guy, sees him staring, at his glass, without saying a word, just he takes the drink, from the guy, and drinks it all down. That poor man starts crying. The truck driver says “Come on man! don’t worry, don’t worry, I was just joking here, I’ll buy you another drink! I just can’t stand a man crying. I can’t stand, to see a man crying. Don’t worry, don’t worry. I am not that big rowdy or I am not that cruel guy. Don’t worry I’ll get you a drink”.

But that guy was crying. He says, “No, it is not that, this day is worst day of my life; first, I fall asleep early morning, and I go late to my office. My boss outrageous, fires me. I lost the job, when I leave the building to my car, I found out it was stolen. The police said, that they can do nothing. I get a cab and return to my home, there I saw my wife was in bed with the gardener. Then I left the home, in a cab. When I got down in the bar, I realized I left my wallet and credit cards there, and the cab driver just drives away. Finally I came to the bar, decided to put an end to my life, and here you drank my poison also”.

When you are in a hurry, you don’t know what you are grabbing. Especially, if you decide you are going to be a violent, don’t be in a hurry.

Arjuna is really in violence now! Please understand, he is not in violence, when he is waging the war. You will see now, how Krishna will just remove all his violence, and make him wage war. It’s very funny, paradoxical. Arjuna is in violence now! That is why he is in hurry, to convince Krishna. Let me define violence, “Violence is something, some act in which you are involved about which your conscience, and brain, are not convinced and you jump logic”. I’m defining violence, “Anything you do by jumping logic, in which your conscience and brain are not in tune, fighting with each other is violence”.

Even if you are doing Puja, in this way it is violence. You will not be worshipping, you will be just pouring water on the Gods, deities. I have seen people doing that. I have seen many priests, fighting with the deities, in many temples. Fortunately Gods have become stones. No… really, the way they will pour the water, and the way they will tie the cloth, the way they pour even the flower.

There is a story; One saint threw stone visualizing flower and became enlightened. Here I have seen many priests, throwing flower visualizing stone.

Even if you do Puja, worship, without your conscience and brain in tune, and jumping logic, it is violence. Arjuna’s problem, is getting complicated. He is talking about papa, punya, sin, merit. The most funniest thing is he is talking about the community system, “ooh, what will happen if this war happens, many people may die, and all communities may mix and merge. The purity of the blood will be lost.” His own great grandmother is a fisherwoman, and Vidura’s mother is a maidservant, his brother is married to a Rakshasi; and he is suddenly remembering about community.

It is not that Arjuna is having a wrong logic. His logic just got perverted. See, it has become a .. he honestly and strongly believes it. Each verse reveals his different layers of conditionings, and the engrams which are stopping him without becoming enlightened. See only when you are about to die, all the engrams will come up. I think it’s almost like Arjuna feels, he is going to die and all the engrams are coming up. Very difficult, unless you have a Master around you when you are about to die, or when you feel you are going to die, you will always make wrong decisions. Let’s see, the next verse, 37th verse.

(23:49) to (24:15) Chanting of 37th verse.

तस्मान्नार्हा वयं हन्तुं धार्तराष्ट्रान्स्वबान्धवान्।

स्वजनं हि कथं हत्वा सुखिनः स्याम माधव।।1.37।।

tasmaan-naarhaa vayam hantum Dhaartaraashtraan svabaandhavaan

Svajanam hi katham hatvaa sukhinah syaama maadhava

(24:16) to (24:36) Swamiji chanting the verse.

He says, “Therefore, it is not proper for us to kill the sons of Dhrutraashtra and our relations.” He is not even asking advice from Krishna. He is just giving conclusions, for how could we be happy after killing our own kinsmen. “Madhava”, again he is coming “swajanam, swajanam,” and he is using a very technical word – ‘Madhava’– means husband of Lakshmi. See the closest relationship to Krishna, is Devi. He says, “See, you also have people, you also have relationships, so you should understand the value of relationship, swajanam, swajanam.” See for every sutra Arjuna is so, I don’t, I can neither say intelligent nor say cunning.

This fellow is using an apt word when he talks about violence. He says “Madhusudana,” “Kesava,” saying you are destroyer. When he speaks about relationships, “swajanam, swajanam”, my people, my people he says “O Madhava, you also..,” means you also have relationships. Remember how you feel with your relationships. Same way I should feel with my relationships. Every sutra, every verse, Arjuna is saying is one layer of conditioning. Suddenly here he comes up, with a conclusion, saying this is not proper for us to kill the sons of Dhrutraashtra and our relation, for how could we be happy after killing our own kinsmen, Madhava. The word “swajanam.”

Arjuna goes on and on and on revealing different layers of his conditioning. I’ll expand on further layers of Arjuna’s conditioning in the further Satsangs, further sutras. Now, few moments to remember Krishna and pray to Him at any conditioning, at any worst conditions, at any worst confusions ask him, “Let me not miss You.”

Let you all achieve, experience, live, express, radiate and share the eternal bliss, Nithyananda!

Thank you.
