God is always with us..
Here is one inspiring incident from the Mahabharata... One which i meditate every time before my Exams or any important work... In the battle of Kurukshetra, Bhishma declared that on the eve of next day, either he or Arjuna wud survive… This caused a terrible chaos in the Pandavas as everyone knew that Bhishma was firm of his words and also he was having boon of "Iccha Mrityu".. On the other side Kauravas were all in rejoice very much assured of their victory as Arjuna was one who can beat them all singlehandedly…
That night was full of tension and worries for Pandava Camp... Even Lord Krishna was dispirited upon hearing this.. He thought He must be with His beloved Parth during such serious time and went to his hut to give some strength to Arjuna.. But amid His astonishment He found Arjuna sleeping very calmly… Surprised, He woke him up and asked, "Parth, don't you know about Bhishma's oath??" "Yes, I know that." Arjuna replied calmly. "Still you are able to sleep without any thoughts in your mind?" On that the Arjuna replied, " Lord, I know You are with me always. When i have surrendered to You, it is Your responsibility to save me tomorrow why should I be worried?? And on hearing that, even Lord Krishna was proud for His dearest "sakha".
This incident shows us the way of remaining calm in tense situations... Surrender totally to the divine and rest assure whatever He does will be the best for u... Just as we see it in HDH Pramukh Swami Maharaj...
Just as Akhsarbrahm Gunatitanand Swami puts it..."ભગવાન તો હમેશા પોતાના ભક્તની રક્ષા માં જ છે, તે કેની પેઠે જે,
જેમ પાપણ આંખની રક્ષામાં છે,
માતા પોતાના પુત્રની રક્ષામાં છે,
અને રાજા પ્રજાની રક્ષામાં છે,
તેમ ભગવાન આપણી રક્ષામાં જ છે.."
Jai Swaminarayan...
