Krishna
As Messenger
Krishna was known to play a flute, to
dance, to fight, and yes, to run and walk.
He is also known as Partha Sarathi,
a chariot driver for friend and warrior, Arjuna. He drives.
In fact the famed dialogue between Arjuna
and Krishna, the one that became the talk which altered Arjuna’s mind
completely, took place after the brief ride with Krishna via chariot and
horses. It was stationary at the time of
the discussion—stationary in order that Arjuna could have a clear look at the
illusions of the world.
The Lord then spoke eloquently. Arjuna listened.
Before that, it was Krishna who solely went
off to speak to the vile Duryodhana. In
an attempt to plea for peace and appeal for fairness, acting as messenger on
behalf of the Pandavas, Krishna delivered a proposal. He came humbly to adversary, Duryodhana, requesting
five villages which the pious five Pandavas could rule over. Diplomacy was applied.
Through a rigged game of dice, the Pandavas
lost their land and kingdom. Only after
an exile period was there a promise for land to be returned. But Duryodhana did not comply with a previous
agreement. Krishna was disappointed in
Duryodhana’s unwillingness to be co-operative.
He was even angered as an attempt for peaceful settlement providentially
failed.
Krishna was in no way about to play the
flute, dance, run or walk. His journey
was by horse and chariot and he was intent on delivering the bad news that war
would prevail before there would be peace.
May the Source be with you!
