Prabhupada: Read. Hare Krsna. Yes, Second Chapter

 

Devotee: Start at verse 8. "I can find no means to drive away this grief

which is drying up my senses. I will not even be able to destroy it if I win an

unrivaled kingdom on the earth with sovereignty like the demigods in heaven [bg.

2.8]. Sanjaya said: Having spoken thus, Arjuna, chastiser of the enemy told

Krsna, Govinda, 'I shall not fight,' and fell silent [bg. 2.9]. O descendant of

Bharata, at that time Krsna, smiling in the midst of both the armies, spoke the

following words to the grief-stricken Arjuna [bg. 2.10]. The Blessed Lord

said..."

 

Prabhupada: So when we become very serious in a dangerous position, as if

we are lost, but Krsna smiles. You see? Sometimes we think... This is called

illusion. The same example, just a man in dreaming, crying, "There is tiger,

there is tiger. It is eating me," and the man who is awakened, he smiles, "Where

is the tiger?" (chuckles) "Where is the tiger?" And this man is crying, "Tiger,

tiger, tiger." Similarly, when we are very much perplexed... Just like the

politicians, they are sometimes perplexed in political situation and claiming,

"This is my land, my country," and other party also claiming, "It is my land, my

country," and they are fighting very gravely. Krsna smiles. "What these nonsense

are claiming 'my country, my land'? It is My land, and they are claiming 'my

land' and fighting." Actually, the land belongs to Krsna, but these people,

under illusion, claiming, "It is my land, it is my country," forgetting how long

he shall belong to this country or this nation. That is called illusion.

 

So this is our position. Without understanding our real position we are

perplexed with these all worldly problems, which are all false. ...........

 

Please Look at Wonders of Krsna ---
