Description

Acharya Prashant explains that the miserable position of Arjuna in the Bhagavad Gita represents the universal conflict faced by all of mankind. He clarifies that Krishna and Arjuna are not merely two historical persons but represent internal dimensions within us, where Shri Krishna is the heart of Arjuna. Using the verses of Kabir Saheb, he illustrates how the ego creates a personal universe that is fundamentally absurd and inverted compared to the natural order of Prakriti. He explains that Kabir Saheb uses paradoxical imagery—such as a lion watching over cows or a guru prostrating before a disciple—to mirror the deceptive and self-serving nature of human relationships and justifications.
