Description

Acharya Prashant explains that the conflict faced by Arjun is not personal but represents the universal struggle of mankind, where both Arjun and Shri Krishna reside within the human heart. He discusses the significance of the mantra 'Om Tat Sat' as a triple designation of Brahman, emphasizing that the scriptures rely on repetition because the human mind is continuously conditioned by the repetitive cycles of nature and Maya. Since the forces of conditioning and suffering are continuous and threefold—manifesting through the three states of consciousness and the three qualities of nature—the resistance through mantras must also be repeated and multifaceted to be effective.
