#SRIMAD BHAGAVAD GITA CHAPTER 1 SKIN#

Formerly it was very strong because the woman was not allowed to mix with any other man, and the man was also not allowed with any other woman. вЂњShe is my wife.вЂќ вЂњHe is my husband.вЂќ Of course, now that knot is very slack. And when they are actually united, either by the father, mother, or by their own way, that shackle, that attraction, increases. A man has got attraction for woman a woman has got attraction for man. Two things are required in human life: knowledge (jnana) and detachment (vairagya). Therefore the Vedic civilization is so planned that one has to give up this rascal вЂњown menвЂќ conception. So long this conception of life will exist, that вЂњI am this body, and anyone who is related with this body, they are my own men, kinsmen, relativesвЂ¦вЂќ This conception of life is the greatest barrier for advancing in spiritual consciousness. So this вЂњown-manship,вЂќ in relationship with the body, is the barrier for spiritual understanding. We can very easily kill other men, even if they are not in a fighting spirit, but we hesisate when the fight involves own men, even if they are in a fighting spirit. He could fight all the soldiers, all the fighting men, who had assembled with fighting spirit ( yuyutsu). So this вЂњown menвЂќ question is very prominent everywhere. Vijaya Lakshmi, a woman, she was being sent as ambassador.

Our Jawaharhal Nehru, he was sending his own men as ambassador. So you can advertise that вЂњI am for everyone,вЂќ but there is affection for own men. You know that in the Communist country, Khruschev was driven out because he was patronizing his own men. They are advertising, humanitarian work, philanthropic work, communism, this вЂњism,вЂќ but when there is question of bodily relationship, immediately everything is changed. And when one is not Krishna conscious, he simply sees вЂњown menвЂќ where there is bodily relationship. So when one becomes Krishna conscious, he can see everyone as вЂњown manвЂќ. Why others are not own men?Д®veryone is вЂњown manвЂќ. But still, dehДЃtma-buddhi, the bodily concept of life is so strongвЂ¦ That Arjuna admits, drstvДЃ tu svajanam krsna: вЂњMy dear Krishna, I have to kill my own men.вЂќ What is that вЂњown menвЂќ? вЂњOwn menвЂќ means this bodily relationship.

My bow Gandiva is slipping from my hand, and my skin is burning.вЂќ

My whole body is trembling, and my hair is standing on end. вЂњArjuna said: My dear Krishna, seeing my friends and relatives present before me in such a fighting spirit, I feel the limbs of my body quivering and my mouth drying up.
