Arjuna - The Warrior Prince of Mahabharata

Arjuna continued, “We all for the time being are too antique to have kids again. With the dying of Abhimanyu, our lineage has come to an end, and You are answerable for it!”
Krishna smiled, “Arjuna, your mind is wavering. Right now you are in the grip of grief, and swayed with the aid of emotion, are speaking with out thinking. But it does no longer matter; this temper will pass.”

Some time later, Abhimanyu’s spouse added a baby, however unfortunately, it become still-born. Draupadi took the lifeless toddler in her hand and said, “Alas, even this child is useless.” Sahadeva become despatched to fetch Krishna.

Krishna got here. Draupadi located the frame of the still-born infant on a plate, took it to Krishna and said, “O Krishna, have You given us the present of a dead baby?”

Krishna was smiling as usual. It became Krishna’s dependancy to always smile, irrespective of what the situation. Others might be worried, anxious, upset, or in despair however Krishna was always smiling. Grief and sorrow could never contact Him; He become far past them. Krishna advised Draupadi, “This toddler is the exact duplicate of Abhimanyu. His eyes are like that of Abhimanyu and so is the face.”

Arjuna couldn't endure this and shouted, “Yes, the breath too is similar! Abhimanyu is useless and so is this baby!”

Krishna smiled and chided Arjuna, “You are a fool, not able to understand what I am saying.”

Krishna then left out Arjuna and continued talking to Draupadi. The latter had complete faith in Krishna and His willingness to do anything for His devotees.

*In the problem of devotion, girls are exemplary.It is the wife that drags the husband to God.*

*God gave the present of devotion (bhakti) to women and wisdom (jnana) to guys. In court language, whereas men can go only as much as the Durbar Hall [where the King holds court], ladies can go to the internal quarters [where women stay]. In the same manner, the devotion of a girl can take her proper inside God’s heart, while such access is not so smooth for a man.*

Why?

Because, as compared to women, guys have much less faith in God and correspondingly additionally less devotion. *Women, on the other hand, have total faith.* Arjuna did not accept as true with that Krishna might do anything, however Draupadi had full faith that Krishna might restore the useless toddler again to existence.

The Pandava brothers had been all seated there, looking definitely crestfallen. Meanwhile, Krishna was persevering with His conversation. Arjuna turned into boiling inside however turned into not able to mention some thing. Suddenly, Krishna informed Draupadi, “Sister, supply me the kid.” Draupadi did. Krishna patted the kid, and the baby began to cry. The Pandavas had been stunned; unbelievable, but the dead baby had come again to existence! They shouted with joy, whilst Krishna named the child Parikshit (when you consider that He had made them go through His pariksha (test) earlier than giving life to the child).

Arjuna witnessed the miracle. He ran to Krishna, fell at His feet, and hailed Him: “Krishna! Vamsoddharaka!! [Krishna, the Emancipator of the clan]”

Krishna smiled, “Arjuna, just a brief at the same time as in the past you referred to as Me “Vamsanaasi!”, the destroyer of the extended family and now I am “Vamsoddharaka!!” because the Emancipator of the clan. How quick you change! How fickle you are! How your thoughts wavers!”

*If you assert yes, Sai says yes.*

*If you are saying no, Sai also says no.*

*This yes and no relate to you,*

*But for Sai, It is usually Yes, Yes, and Yes!*

One second Krishna become referred to as the destroyer and the in the next He turned into referred to as the Emancipator. These descriptions relate now not to Krishna however to the person the usage of the terms. They replicate the wavering thoughts of man. God is Unchanging and far beyond fluctuations.

Parikshit having regained life, all and sundry changed into very happy. All of them have been sitting around
Krishna. Arjuna moved near Krishna and gently asked, “Lord, why did You permit my son Abhimanyu dieat such a young age? I did not even get a chance to peer him earlier than he died. Should death come so early? Could You now not have permit him live a bit longer?”

Krishna replied, “O foolish one! You are determining the age of someone via searching at the existing frame. This age which you are talking of has no meaning really. Birth and loss of life of the frame follow in line with the regulation of nature.”

Here is an instance that illustrates how one should recognize the so-called early or untimely dying. Suppose you go to Kashmir. You might not be privy to it, but Kashmir was the house kingdom of Kaikeyi. While in Kashmir, you buy some woolen cloth so one can sew a fit. After return, you placed the fabric in a cabinet and forget all approximately the cloth. Ten years bypass and also you are approximately to shift your residence. You are packing things for the transfer of residence, and also you discover the woolen material that you stored away a long term in the past. You regret that you forgot approximately this first-rate fabric these kinds of years. That very day, you go to a tailor and ask him to stitch a nice healthy for you. Soon, the healthy is brought, and you put on it to attend a marriage party. A buffet dinner has been organized there. You bend down a little with the plate to assist yourself. Suddenly you find that your match gives way and tears . You experience sad. You wonder, “Brand new match; how can it tear like this?” Yes, the suit is certainly new however the cloth isn't always new; it's far vintage.

Krishna instructed Arjuna, “Abhimanyu did no longer die younger as you imagine; he become ‘old stock’. In this start he would possibly have lived only for a few years, but in reality, the only whom you referred to as Abhimanyu turned into now not young at all.”

Arjuna replied, “Lord, I became now not privy to such subtleties.”

Krishna smiled, “Yes, My expensive son, You and I have have passed through many births. I understand them all, you do now not. I recognise everybody’s previous delivery and both lifestyles and dying are mysteries! I apprehend them, you will not”
