‘Arjuna,the essential polnt is this.I have given man a body and mind to discover Me and to come back to Me. That is why I confer the human form on a select few.That opportunity ought to be properly used and not wasted,’
Arjuna asks, ‘Lord, You may say few but there are so many people on the earth! There is something here that I am missing.’
Krishna replies, ‘I f you look at the human population alone, it might seem large.But remember, there are 8.4 million living species! Compare the human population with the totl population of all the other species put togrther, including the innumerable tiny insects.
You will then realize that very few indeed are at te top of the evolution ladder, just one step away from God. Surely you would concede that is indeed a rare opportunity.
‘So the big question before man is whether man should waste this wonderful opportunity, living like an animal or a demon. Instead, why not follow My simple three point formula. Which is;
1) Always think of me
2) Always think you are doing my wor4k, whatever it be
3) Dedicate all your actions to me
Stick to this magic formula and you would be home in no time at all.’
Arjuna responds, ‘krishna, I have a little problem wit your observation that we should think we are working for You. Let us say there is a farmer who has employed a servant.
The farmer pays the wages and therefore the servant is working for the farmer and not you.
How can the servant think he is working for you? This point is not clear to me.’
Krishna laughs and says, ’Arjuna, if you understand what the Cosmic Drama is all about, you would not be asking this question. True, the servant is working for the farmer but that is so only in a worldly sense. In reality, who is that harmer but Me in disguise? That is the feeling of oneness that you ought to have.’
Arjuna replies, ’You are in effect saying I must see God in all, aren’t You? But I still have a problem .Let us say this farmer is stingy and cruel .How can I think he is You? You are Purity. Compassion and love whereas that farmer is mean, dishonest and wicked. See my difficulty?
Krishna replies, Arjuna, if you look merely at the surface, you would only see a mean and wicked person as you describe him. But go a bit deeper and what do you find the? You will discover that so-called wicked farmer is indeed God in disguise giving you a test1 Test is taste for God, you know!
