Arjuna
entered the battlefield, fully equipped and fanatically determined to destroy
his enemies. But, when he stood on the battlefield in the chariot driven by
Lord Krishna, he saw 'my teachers’, 'my grandfather’, 'my kinsmen’ and 'my
cousins'. He was moved so much by this sense of ‘I’ and ‘mine’ that he
discarded the bow and desired to return, poor and beaten. The ‘I’ has really
nothing to do with earthly possessions, but being deluded he identified himself
with earthly relationships. This is the moha
(delusion) from which he was saved, through the Bhagavad Gita. Be unmoved by
duality; that is the lesson. Let not defeat or success affect your inner calm.
See yourself as your Self, unrelated to others or to the objective world. When
you know your true Self, you are liberated: that is Moksha.
Moha Kshayam is Moksham
(total detachment is liberation). Attachment leads to sufferings. So first and
foremost, give up attachment.
