Karna gave his own reasons as to why he was taking the side of adharma by aligning himself with the Kauravas. He was a prisoner of his own logic and reason. Bhishma, too, was entrapped by his reasons. They were all good people, but being good is not enough. Is good energy directed to truth and growth to bring about a transformation? Are you a victim of reason and logic? Do your differences arise from ego clash or from a commitment to truth? As long as imagination is used for positive purposes, there is nothing to fear.
A guru’s advice can be sought, just as the Pandavas asked Krishna for counsel. Krishna symbolised the energy of joy, beauty and love… flexible and firm, playful and committed. Duryodhana was stubborn and jealous. Arjuna was committed and skilful but he also knew the power of surrender. What energy fields are you entertaining in your life?
