Krishn is a Buddha

Krishn says in the Gita to Arjun, ‘Fight, but fight with absolute surrender to God. Krishn says, ‘Drop the ego and then leave it to God. If he wants to become a monk through you, he will become a monk.

You cannot judge from the outside whether a man is wise or foolish because sometimes their acts may be the same. Krishn says in the Gita to Arjun, ‘Fight, but fight with absolute surrender to God. Become a vehicle.’ Now, to surrender means absolute awareness, otherwise you cannot surrender. Krishn says, ‘Drop the ego and then leave it to God. Then let his will be done. Then whatsoever happens is good.’ Arjun argues again and again. He says, ‘But to kill these people… how can it be right? Rather than kill these people for the kingdom, I would like to renounce and go to the forest and become a monk.’ Now, if you just look from the outside,… Arjun seems to be more a Gandhian than Krishn. Krishn… is saying, ‘Drop all this nonsense of being a monk and escaping to the Himalayan caves.
You leave everything to God.… If he wants to become a monk through you, he will become a monk. If he wants to become a warrior through you, he will become a warrior..…’ Krishn is a Buddha, an awakened being. He is saying, ‘Don’t you decide. Out of your unconsciousness, whatsoever you decide is going to be wrong, because unconsciousness is wrong.’ And the foolish person lives in unconsciousness. Even if he tries to do good, he succeeds only in doing bad.
