00:00You would have seen this moment captured in many paintings.
00:04Dheesh was standing on his chariot.
00:06He has put down his weapons and he is standing with hands folded and he is welcoming Krishna
00:12to come and attack him.
00:13And Arjuna is behind Krishna and Arjuna is begging Krishna, please, please do not break
00:18your vow.
00:19You had said you would not participate in the fight.
00:22Do not do that now.
00:23I'll do the needful.
00:24I won't be a hesitant warrior anymore.
00:27It's a very moving scene.
00:28It's a very eloquent picture when you look at it.
00:31And it's full of nothing but emotion.
00:33So Krishna is the master of Maya, thereby also the master of emotions.
00:38He's 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.
00:46And if your emotions can be aligned with your higher purpose, it's all right to be angry
00:51just as Krishna was in that moment.
00:54And Krishna is very angry in that moment.
00:56Now such expression is auspicious and most welcome.
