KRISHNA HITS ARJUNA'S ROOT PATTERN

This text was machine-transcribed from the printed book and may contain errors. Select the words and choose “Report a mistake”.

Arjuna's root thought pattern originates from fear and worry. His maṇipūraka cakra (navel center) and svādiṣṭhāna cakra (being center), energy centers that get locked due to worry and fear, are now completely locked! Because of his fear pattern, he has deep seated incompletions, stress and worry.

Arjuna is confronted with all the four fears: fear that he may lose whatever he possesses, that he may be maimed in the war, that he may lose his near and dear ones, and fourth, that he may lose his very life. These fears have in turn led to his powerlessness of heart. Understand, all your fears, all your anxieties, all your patterns are directed only in one line—fear of your possibilities

Krishna illustration

Listen! Your bigness
frightens you. You always
believe that you are
suffocated by your
smallness. NO! You are
suffocated by your bigness!

Whenever bigness is
demanded of you,
whenever you feel you are
being 'forced' to expand,
you shrink even further
into your comfort zone.
Arjuna's tiredness, his
weakness, his
powerlessness all these are
nothing but the resistance
he has to seeing his own
bigness!

Krishna playing flute against mountains and starry sky

Listen! The more you engage with life, the greater the expansion that will be demanded of you. Whenever you are feeling weak, tired, and powerless, the first thing you should do is this: immediately take on ten responsibilities and commit to fulfill them within an impossibly short time! Shake your inner space so powerfully with that commitment that there will be no way for weakness and tiredness to grow inside you.

Continuously human beings resist expansion. Incarnations happen on the planet to remind human beings about their possibilities, to expand human consciousness.
