WHAT ARE INCOMPLETIONS?

All incompletions boil down to just two patterns — violence and fear. Both are one and the same. When fear comes, violence comes. When violence comes, fear comes.

Incompletions are nothing but not looking at the fact and trying to pervert it, interpret it, manipulate it. All your plans to manipulate and exploit is incompletion.

Duryodhana tried to pervert, manipulate, push and pull as he wanted to possess and conquer everything. But victory remains as victory wherever dharma is, wherever Kṛṣṇa is. However, Duryodhana had no trust in many of the great warriors who had taken his side. Please understand, all distrust, all doubting others is self-doubt. This is the rule of thumb. When you are in incompletion driven by your root pattern, you will never be able to trust anybody. You will go on doubting others and you. All self-doubting is not having the right reason or adequate reasons. Duryodhana did not have right or adequate reasons for his action to wage the war. So, he constantly kept on doubting and distrusting others.
