Chapter-18
Release
Just as the wind makes a blade of grass whirl round and round in the sky, so God moves it about between heaven and earth (1306-1310). Just as iron is set in motion by the magnet, so all the activities of beings, take place under the authority of God. O Dhananjaya, just as in the proximity of the moon, the ocean and others start their activities, viz. the ocean gets into full tide, the moon-stone begins to ooze, the night lotuses bloom, and chakora birds give up their reserve, in the same way, God goads the beings to act through the prakriti. The same God, abides in your heart. O son of Pandu, the feeling which rises in your mind, without allowing itself to be identified with Arjuna, is the real aspect of God (1311-1315). Therefore, God will goad your prakriti, which will then compel you to fight. God is the Lord of all beings and the controller of prakriti. It is therefore, right, that you should make your sense organs to act freely, in accordance with your nature. The decision whether you should fight or not fight, should be left to the prakriti. Please keep in mind, that this prakriti is under the control of God, who dwells in your heart. |
