HINDU-CHRISTIAN Prose

  • 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.
