GITA 108 DAYS - Day 70
70 Rules are Caged Boundaries
Lord Krishna revolted against rules in his life and he didn’t approve traditions for the sake of accepting them. But He gave fullness to everything He touched. Gita is giving us the complete freedom, and it enables us to open up our own path. Gita urges us to break out of all the shackles and get out of the cages so that we can walk on your own. You would not need the help of any priests or middlemen when you stand on your own.
After beholding the wonderful, terrible and gigantic universal vision of the Lord, Arjuna says: Oh Lord, I bow unto thee. This is the attitude we should develop. We typically curse the Lord at tragic circumstances. When facing complex situations, and dealing with situations that are beyond our control, what we should develop is not an attitude of judgement, but a mentality that “I want to know Him, who is behind everything”. This will lead to better clarity in our life. With the attitude of the universal vision (attitude), even ugly sceneries will become beautiful. There, good and bad, real and unreal, and all dualities end. Lord is the time that is ‘destroying’ the world every moment of passing. But this is the way of sustaining the world as relentless change is the basis of existence itself.
Lord Krishna says that “these warriors will die even if you are not there to kill them. Death is also a definite thing born with a birth. You are only playing a part”. Act out in the world with this attitude and enjoy the world with all its prosperity. It is said that by seeing the universal vision, all ran hither and thither to indicate that all continue to act in the world relentlessly in presence of the Lord. Through the Viswaroopa Darsana, Arjuna relaized that Lord Krishna is the ultimate truth that is beyond the real and the unreal.
