I was horribly upset yesterday due to some personal problems. Almost frustrated, I decided to cool down by reading some shlokas from Gita. I read some of the chapters when I was in school and used to like the second one. So, I started with that. What caught my fancy yesterday was “khudrang hridayo dourbalyang tejyo tistha parantapa”. This was where Sri Krishna was asking Arjuna to write off all the weakness from his heart and to prepare for war.

Ahh! These small weaknesses….generally we all have. Well, I am thinking not exactly the way Arjuna was before the battle. My weaknesses are different. I like someone and I expect his/her likings in response. When I don’t get that, I feel upset….small-small weaknesses of heart……. So, I was almost set to take a resolution….’from now onwards I will be above all weakness’.

But then, one of my friends said, “wont that be inhumane?”. True. What will be left to us if we subtract the emotions? So, I thought may be this is applicable only to people like me. Facing the “angur fal tak” (grape is sour only when u don’t get it) situation. Else, how could we sooth our mind??.....
