These forces
cut across humanity and may divide a nation or a family, not to speak of the world itself.
To not be willing to face opposition, even from those whom we love if necessary, is to
accept the force of decay. This does not mean to be aggressive or violent but to
take a stand for the Truth, even if the world turns against us.
"Arise Arjuna! Yours is not a battle at one point of time only. It is for all time.
It must be fought over and over again, even for eternity. Truth cannot compromise itself
with falsehood. Someone has to hold the limit. If not you, who will it be? And what will
you say to your children? What will you bequeath them having surrendered your soul without
a struggle?
What would Arjuna say in these circumstances:
"I will not give in, even one inch to the forces of destruction. If I must be
sacrificed, so be it. But I will dedicate my total effort to the fight. Death in the
battle is preferable to a life without dignity. The Dharma must be upheld. With adharma
there can be no tolerance. We cannot rest until it is completely removed and first it must
be stripped from our own hearts." |
