OM SRI SAI RAM

Antes del comienzo de la guerra de Mahabharata, por consejo del Señor Krishna, Yudhishthira y sus hermanos se acercaron a Bhishma, tocaron sus pies y dijeron: “Abuelo, desde que perdimos a nuestro padre, nos cuidaste y nos criaste; lamentablemente, hoy tenemos que pelear contigo. Por favor danos tu permiso para esta batalla”. Bhishma estuvo muy conmovido de que aún bajo esas espantosas condiciones de batalla, Yudhishthira estaba cumpliendo con su deber hasta el punto de pedirle permiso. Bhishma lo abrazó y dijo: “Hasta en el campo de batalla observas el dharma y eso me da mucho placer. Saldrás victorioso de esta batalla porque estas actuando de acuerdo con el Dharma. Aquellos que protegen la rectitud(dharma), serán a su vez protegidos por el dharma”. Tal es el más alto orden de conducta reguladora enseñada por el Señor Krishna; mediten sobre esto y pregúntense si nosotros, como seres
humanos, estamos observando reglas y un código de conducta apropiados. (Rosas de Verano en las Montañas Azules, 1976, Cap.6)

 

Before the start of the Mahabharata war, at the advice of Lord Krishna, Yudhishthira and his brothers, went up to Bhishma, touched his feet, and said, “Grandfather, ever since we lost our father, you looked after us and brought us up; unfortunately, today we have to fight with you. Please give us permission for this battle.” Bhishma was very much moved that even under those terrifying conditions of battle, Yudhishthira was doing his duty and came all the way to seek his permission. Bhishma embraced him and said, “Even in the battlefield, you are observing dharma and it gives me great pleasure. You will be victorious in this battle because you are acting according to Dharma. Those who protect righteousness (dharma) will in turn be protected by dharma.” Such is the highest order of regulatory conduct taught by Lord Krishna; ponder over this and wonder if we, as human beings, are observing appropriate rules and code of conduct.

Mountains, 1976, Ch 6)
