After the Mahabharata war, Arjuna asked Srikrishna once when he went for a walk in the evening.
Krishna, you gave me some advice to enable me to fight that day..
I doubt I forgot all that..
Can I say that one more time?
Krishna said.
Partha.. Do you have any recollection of Arjuna's condition that day?
It was Arjuna in that condition who made Krishna who was the teacher of the song.
Both of them are gone today.
Then Arjuna asked again.
Krishna.. have I forgotten what I heard that day?
Krishna: Never.
All that will remain in you forever.
They will help you in the necessary situations of life..
Later, when Lord Krishna passed away, Arjuna, who cried and screamed, slowly stops crying and realizes himself.
He has not gone anywhere, he is sitting inside himself smiling and reminding himself of all those hymns..
There will be many guiding personalities in our life.
Father, mother, husband, wife, friend, partner, lover... they may have come and gone in any role.
When they were alive or with us, sometimes we may have ignored what they told us.
But there is a realization that comes after they leave us.
On that day, we will remember many things that they told us whether they said it or not.
Putting aside all the pretense of being me, we will look for the truth of what they said that day..
Slowly and slowly we will start changing even as them..
But for that, life has to teach some realizations.. lessons.. only!
Wouldn't it be great if we could have those realizations while we are with them instead of waiting for it?
