Spiritual conversation between Krishna and Arjuna

Episode#48

"I am confused Vasudev" replied Arjuna "If you are the Divine incarnation, you ought to define the pre-requisites of what is righteousness? If you are invincible, why create evil at all? Why create unrighteousness or blasphemy when you possess the power of creation and destruction? If unrighteousness is a mistake, then you are the supreme essence of the world and yet unrighteousness exists; it merely shows that you are imperfect!"

Vasudev Krishna was amused to hear the plaints coming from a confused Arjuna! He smiled and replied "Pain and pleasure are the part of the natural rhythm of the world. A lion kills a deer; the lion righteousness is to kill and to eat, the righteousness of the deer is to run and escape.

One does not exist without the other. I am Duryodhana and I am Arjuna. I am Yudhishtira and I am Sakuni. Righteousness and unrighteousness are different manifestation of the same energy. I do not bother about the fruits of any action."

Arjuna realized that Vasudev Krishna was much more than an ordinary human! Accepting his delusional state of mind, he joined his hands and asked for forgiveness "Please show me your real self, Vasudev Krishna...!"

This it was a very first time that Vasudev Krishna appeared in his various resplendent forms which only Arjuna could visualize and far away on the hill Barbarik the son of Ghatorkach had watched the Virat swaroop of Vasudev Krishna.

Why Sakuni did not want Duryodhana to marry Subhadra?

Episode#22 The cunning Sakuni knew that if Duryodhana married Subhadra then it would be impossible to forsake revenge and destroy Kuru dynasty, as Vasudev Krishna would not resort to any measures that would go against his sister Subhadra nor would take any step that would harm his paternal cousins - the Pandavas! Sakuni was intent on not allowing the Kauravas to enter any kind of relationship with the Yadavas clan or anybody related to Vasudev Krishna's family. To create unnecessary confusion and chaos, the cunning Sakuni in an attempt to mislead Vasudev Krishna, who did not had the faintest idea about Duryodhana proposed alliance with Subhadra.

And who is the villain?" "Who shall we call villain? Duryodhana who refused to share even a small piece of land? Yudhishtira, who gambled away his wife and kingdom? Bhisma, who prevented Dhritarashtra from becoming the king because he was blind,  Shantanu, who sacrificed his son's future to satisfy his own lust? Or is it Gandhari, for blindfolding herself to her son's misdeeds and faults? Or maybe Lord Krishna, who had long ago promised the Earth-goddess to rid the world of unrighteous kings? You decide who is hero and who is villain" said Vaisampayana.  ++
