Dear Bala,

you are also forgetting that arjuna did not want to fight and that he

asked krishna for advice and surrendered to his will ~ if you are not

sure, ask amma

 

my advice is to take refuge in amma's words and our spiritual

practices ~

FROM DEARAMMA :

 

God: In order to raise oneself from identification with the body to

the level of the Supreme Self, one should feel the desperation of a

person who is trapped in a burning house or one who is drowning in

deep waters. Such a person will not have to wait long for the Vision

of God. - Ammachi, For My Children, p38

 

God: Children, when we lose a key, we go to a locksmith to have a

lock opened. In order to open the lock of attraction and repulsion,

one must seek the key which is in the hands of God. - Ammachi, For My

Children, p39

 

God: God is the substratum of everything. Love flourishes from faith

in God. From love flows the sense of righteousness (dharma), justice

and peace. We should be as eager to sympathize with others' sorrows as

we are to apply medicine to our own burnt hand. This can be achieved

through full faith in God. - Ammachi, For My Children, p39

 

Mahatmas and Divine Incarnations: The same Atman which abides in all

beings, abides in me as well. Nothing is different from me. Others'

sorrows and difficulties are mine. One who realizes this through his

own experience is a Jñani (Man of Wisdom). - Ammachi, For My

Children, p40

 

Mahatmas and Divine Incarnations: The difference between an

Incarnation and a jiva, an individual soul, can be compared to the

difference between a man who has an inborn talent for singing and one

who has learned singing. The former can learn a song just by hearing

it once, whereas the latter takes a long time to learn it. - Ammachi,

For My Children, p40

 

Mahatmas and Divine Incarnations: Since everything is part of God,

everybody is an incarnation. Jivas, not knowing that they are part of

God, think, "I am the body. This is my house, my property, my wife." -

Ammachi, For My Children, p41

 

Mahatmas and Divine Incarnations: Incarnations have a sense of

fullness which others haven't. Since Incarnations are identified with

Nature, their mind is not what we usually call 'mind'. All minds are

theirs. An Incarnation is Himself a 'Universal Mind'. Incarnations are

beyond the pairs of opposites (purity and impurity, joy and sorrow,

etc.). The descent of God Himself in human form is called an

Incarnation. - Ammachi, For My Children, p41

 

Mahatmas and Divine Incarnations: No limitations can bind an

Incarnation. Incarnations are like the tips of icebergs in the Ocean

of Brahman (the Absolute). The whole of God's Power cannot be confined

to a human body of five or six feet, but God can work at will through

this small body. This is the uniqueness of Incarnations. - Ammachi,

For My Children, p41

 

Mahatmas and Divine Incarnations: Incarnations are a great help in

bringing people closer to God. It is only for our sake that God

assumes a form. Incarnations are not the body even though They appear

to be so to us. - Ammachi, For My Children, p42

 

Mahatmas and Divine Incarnations: Wherever Mahatmas (Great Souls)

appear, people gather around them. People are attracted to them like

dust to a whirlwind. Their breath and even the very breeze that

touches their body is beneficial to the world. - Ammachi, For My

Children, p42

 

Mahatmas and Divine Incarnations: Children, Jesus was crucified and

Sri Krishna was killed by an arrow only by their Will. Nobody could

approach them except by their Will. They could have burned to ashes

those who opposed them, but they didn't. They had assumed a body to

set an example for the world. They had come to show what sacrifice

means. - Ammachi, For My Children, p42
