00:00You would have seen this moment captured in many paintings.
00:04Dheesh was standing on his chariot, he has put down his weapons and he is standing with
00:09hands folded and he is welcoming Krishna to come and attack him and Arjuna is behind Krishna
00:15and Arjuna is begging Krishna, please, please do not break your vow.
00:19You had said you would not participate in the fight, do not do that now.
00:23I will do the needful.
00:24I won't be a hesitant warrior anymore.
00:26It's a very moving scene.
00:28It's a very eloquent picture when you look at it and it's full of nothing but emotion.
00:33So Krishna is the master of Maya, thereby also the master of emotions.
00:38He is not carried away by emotions.
00:40He uses emotions for a higher goal.
00:43What is the higher goal?
00:44The higher goal is that dharma should win and if your emotions can be aligned with your
00:48higher purpose, it's alright to be angry just as Krishna was in that moment and Krishna
00:54is very angry in that moment.
00:56Now such expression is auspicious and most welcome.
