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.
