Wisdom From Within

A WARRIOR'S YOGA: PEACE ON THE BATTLEFIELD

6/23/2014

Peace for me is not the absence of war. It is a vibration that exists within us and needs tuning into, to feel it. This is about feeling good, it is that simple; A feeling of beauty and joy independent of the circumstances of our lives.
In the Bhagavad Gita, sometimes called the Song Divine or Song of Love, Krishna, is the warrior Arjuna's charioteer. Arjuna has been cheated of all his lands and possessions, by his uncles at dice. It has come to war.

Arjuna is beside himself on the battlefield of Kurukshetra. He bemoans his fate to Krishna, saying that his family is dear to him. “No good can come of this; even if I beat my uncles in battle I will be undone in grief at their demise.” he says.

Krishna attempts to rally Arjuna from his low state, telling him "arise warrior now is your destiny "Arjuna will not be persuaded and argues his case. 
Krishna says “Arjuna because you are my friend I will show you my real nature and my name. I am the unborn and the undying I am all worlds and dimensions. This earthly form you see is temporary.” He proceeds right there on the battlefield to initiate Arjuna into raj or royal yoga, the highest of unions. Arjuna realises who Krishna is as he is taken into a whirlwind of light and other worlds and sees the underlying nature of everything which he perceives as Krishna. 
“No man can do anything to any other man, you take too much importance on yourself to think you can kill or be killed.” Krishna tells him.

He continues “Arjuna now you know the name beyond names, which cannot be spoken. It is in you as a vibration, feel it. Remember this vibration in consciousness and fight.” This is the essence of the Bhagavad Gita. Remember me and fight. 

We tune into the most beautiful part of our self & act. This is taught in India as Karma Yoga - work union.

There are many details in the Bhagavad Gita. There are five horses on the chariot. Krishna says “Give me the reins, direct the senses with the heart, then you are free to fight. Fight with courage and accept this destiny and you will be spoken of with awe and love for generations because you have faced your foes and embraced your destiny as a warrior.” The five horses are obviously the senses, the chariot our physical body the battlefield the circumstances of our lives, Krishna our divinity our heart.
This secret unpronounceable name is life-force itself. It is spoken within us as the original vibration and delivers breath. The breath given attention will bring us to a place of being, independent of circumstance. The most beautiful parts of ourselves that we seem biased towards are joyous and harmonious in nature. This yearning to cultivate these qualities lie within us awaiting discovery. Even amidst the horror of war,  Arjuna, the archetypal warrior came to an indescribable peace  a place of alignment and acquiescence to his destiny. 
Peace is not a luxury it is a necessity to keep our balance in a changing world.

Accept and acknowledge this breath, tune into it, and align yourself with all beings that are consciously tuning into this vibration now.

Peace fulfilment and abundance be ours in this moment and in the coming year and decade.
