Guest guest Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 Thus Spake The Lord Krishna was known to all as Almighty, all-knowing, all-encompassing and all-fulfilling. Yet, the enthusiasm to do seva prompted Him to approach Dharmaraaja, the eldest of the Pandava brothers, on the eve of the magnificent Raajsooya Yaaga he had planned to celebrate and offered to take up seva of any kind. He suggested that He might be given the task of cleaning the dining hall after the guests have partaken of the feast! Krishna insisted on outer cleanliness and inner cleansing. Clean clothes and clean minds are the ideal combination. During the battle of Kurukshetra, which climaxed the Mahaabhaaratha story, Krishna served as the 'driver' of the chariot of Arjuna throughout the day on the field and when dusk caused the adjournment of the fight, he led the horses to the river, gave them a refreshing bath and applied healing balms to the wounds suffered by them during the fierce fray. He mended the reins and the harness and rendered the chariot battle worthy for another day. Reference: Sathya Sai Speaks, Vol. XV, Chapter 31.
