- Story:
- The gita is not primarily concerned with Krishna as an
- individual, but with his aspect as Brahman,the ultimate reality.
- When Krishna addresses Arjuna, he sometimes speaks as an
- individual, but often God himself.
- For I am Brahman
- Within this body
- Life is immortal
- That shall not perish
- I am the truth
- And the joy forever.
- Arjuna,in his attitude to Krishna, also expresses this
- dual relationship, Krishna is the divine incarnation of Vishnu, Arjunas chosen
- deity. Arjuna knows this-yet,by merciful ignorance, he
- sometimes forgets.
- Indeed, it is Krishna who makes him forget,
- SINCE NO ORDINARY MAN CAN BEAR HE STRAIN OF CONSTANT
- COMPANIONSHIP WITH GOD.
- Arjuna is appalled by the realization that he has been
- treating the Lord of the universe as friend and fellow-mortal.
- He humbly begs
- Krishna pardon, but his awe soon leaves him. Again he has forgotten,
- FOR CHRISTIANS, THERE HERE WE CAN FIND JESUS AND THE STORY OF THE TRANSFIGURATION.
