Possible
in the Mist of Impossible
=Pt.ShriRam Sharma Acharya
The life
is filled so much with uncertainty, doubt and obstructions that it appears
almost impossible to overcome these road-blocks. Every moment, a person has to
wage a Mahabharat-like war within himself. In Srimad Bhagwadgita, Kurukshetra
(the battlefield of Mahabharat) has been called Dharmakshetra (the field of
righteousness), because it is here that the battle for the victory of the
divine over the devil, light over darkness and love over hate has to be
accomplished. In the war of Mahabharat, the army of Yadavas & Sri Krishna's
clan lost in sensual indulgence and hence instruments of evil - was with the
Kauravas (symbol of evil). Krishna (The Divine Incarnate) alone, that too
weaponless, was with Pandavas (chosen instruments of the Divine). Life too is like
that.
All the
powers of the physical world (rhetorically the mighty army of Yadavas) are
allies of Adharma. A sadhak has to choose between the Divine and his mighty
army. It is not that Krishna was the charioteer of Arjun alone; He is eternally
sitting in the heart of everyone of us and controlling our chariots of life.
However, when we as sadhaks face the legions of devilish tendencies of greed,
selfishness, cunningness, etc in our surroundings and evil traditions in the
society, our nervousness is but natural. Arjun, too, was initially nervous and
unsure of victory but he did win, once he unconditionally offered himself to
serve as an instrument of the Divine Charioteer & in response to the Divine
Teacher's assurance & Ma ekam sharanam vrij.
"Similarly,
when a sadhak puts aside all ego-based self-effort and surrenders to the Divine
alone and trusts His sole guidance with all his soul, mind and body, he is sure
to overcome all the obstacles of the path and reach the ultimate goal. It is
such sadhaks who can make possible all the impossible " looking tasks.
