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.

During his breath, a voice was heard to say: "This prince will attain great glory in the happy regions above after being slain in the battle. One who, among the warriors of all ages, ranks among the most illustrious, will in the field of battle shall get his head severed from the body." All living beings must die but truth is always bitter! Vriddhakshatra was grieved to hear the voice declare his son's end. In his disturbed state of mind, he uttered a curse "He, who shall cause my son's head roll down on the ground, his head shall be burst at that very moment into fragments." When Jayadratha grew up to his manhood, Vriddhakshatra handed over the state ...

The Kurukshetra field presented strange sight with burning torches - the generals and soldiers on both the sides we're engaged in battle, thousands of torches burnt and were used as signals, devised for night time.

Duryodhana heart sank when he saw thousands of his men destroyed by Ghatotkacha and his demon army moving in the air and attacking in strange and unexpected ways. The warriors begged to Karna "Kill this fellow at once, Karna, for otherwise, soon our whole army will cease to be. Finish him without delay!"
