00:00You'd have seen this moment captured in many paintings.

00:04Dheesh was standing on his chariot, he has put down his weapons and he's standing with

00:09hands folded and he's welcoming Krishna to come and attack him and Arjun is behind Krishna

00:15and Arjun is begging Krishna, please, please do not break your vow.

00:19You had said you would not participate in the fight, do not do that now.

00:23I'll do the needful.

00:24I won't be a hesitant warrior anymore.

00:27It's a very moving scene.

00:28It's a very eloquent picture when you look at it and it's full of nothing but emotion.

00:33So Krishna is the master of Maya, thereby also the master of emotions.

00:38He's not carried away by emotions.

00:40He uses emotions for a higher goal.

00:43What is the higher goal?

00:44The higher goal is that dharma should win and if your emotions can be aligned with your

00:48higher purpose, it's alright to be angry just as Krishna was in that moment and Krishna

00:54is very angry in that moment.

00:56Now such expression is auspicious and most welcome.
