New dimension to Krishna' Teachings..

KARMANYEVA ADHIKARASTHE MAAPHALESHU KADACHANA
for ppl who don't understand sanskrit it means your only authority is on your actions the results should not be your concern

Krishna said this in his Gita discourse on the battle field to a distraught Arjuna, unwilling to fight against his relatives and elders.

Here what is clear are the variables rest everything is dictatorial. The different variables in these words are - Karma or action and Phala or result.

Now story mein twist.


Let us understand the above variables with respect to 2 situations.
  1. If Karma and Phala are considered to be the equivalent variables of KAALA (Period (tense)- not time) then Karma will be present tense and Phala will be Future tense, if you re construct Krishna's words, then what he would be saying is You have authority only on today and now, whatever you want to do, do it, Phala or tomorrow is not in your hands. Raises many questions doesn't it? do we have the right priorities for today if I don't have authority? Depressing or Freeing? Half full or Half empty?
  2. Now consider Karma and Phala to be the equivalent variables of Life and After life: Karma or Life or the period when you are living has been given to you and you alone, and enjoy it asyou wish to. Don't depend on the afterlife, Now this is liberating for me, if there is no afterlife, then there are no Hell and Heaven, I can create either one right here in my life. This for me is more liberating, Then the entire religious funda crashes, it is necessary for people who are not as enlightened (sic) as I am, but not for me,
Interesting thought aye?
Cheers ...
Rishi
