Analysis Of Arjuna
Arjuna thought
Why would they do such a thing? The heartless villains! Rakshasas!
The extension would completely kill the livelihood of the people living downstream.
It is not as if they have a huge surplus but with common sense and wisdom, there was always enough for everyone.
God! Why don’t you knock some sense in to those idiots? He opened his eyes a little and peered at the substantial statue of Lord Shiva, sitting peacefully before him with his eyes closed. What are you so pleased about? I am asking for help and all you do is – just sit and meditate!?!. Don’t ignore me as if I am a sinner! All I am asking is for people to be fair! You are a fighter like me and you surely understand fair play! Aaarrrah! Lord! Why can’t life be simple and straight? Why can’t people be nice and honest? - And all you do is just sit pretty and serene! The Lord continued sitting with a calm look. Arjuna’s eyes shifted to the big idol of Goddess Mahakali. The statue was about 10 feet and she was smeared in Kumkum, all red and bloodlike as she wore a gruesome smile. It was the smile of someone whose innermost desire had been satisfied. Her hands

What is life without a little risk, a little fun?!!?” came to his mind! By God! How much can a man influence another person! Krishna was in Arjuna’s mind always! Arjuna always heard him speak at all times, albeit in his mind! Arjuna’s hands held the paddle and turned white as he pressed it with all his might. And then he heard his commandant yell “Abhi” and off he plunged in to the water. ‘No risk, no return, eh!? That is absolute madness!’ Arjuna still remembered his thoughts! Arjuna was quite sure that he would not return! Yet, it was fun! He had actually survived that first run! It had felt like the first flight of a baby eagle! Simply jump and take it as it comes! He always remembered the experience! He had replayed it multiple times in his mind since that

It was still the art of thinking, of waiting, of fasting, which guided his life; still the people of the world, the childlike people, had remained alien to him as he was alien to them” (75).…

    Kook by Peter Heller, is a memoir he wrote about how he come to discover his love and passion for surfing . One of the paragraphs that give the most insight to the reader is the last paragraph of the first chapter. In this one particular chapter all the small moments that he talking about he is foreshadowing to the bigger moments that he had later on in his surfing career. While ‘reading between the lines’ the reader can see the tone and purpose that Heller is trying to portray. At the beginning of the first sentence he says “In the split second it took to attempt the most crucial move in surfing….” Here he is giving insight to what the climax of his surfing career felt like. Those split seconds that he is talking about took him not physically but mentally a took while to finally figure it out what surfing is really about—that adrenaline ‘high’ that you get after catching one of the best waves of your life! The next part talks about his transition from traveling across the country in search of an office job to finally taking control of his life. He represents that in how he is waiting for a wave but not looking for one to finally taking control of his life by “…standing [on the surfboard] and in control.” When he was up on that wave, it’s a symbol of him standing up against his old and boring ways of life. When he had caught that wave he then writes about the two thought that he had: “anything is possible” and “What the hell am I doing here”. The first thought he is referring to the moment that he had been working for his entire surfing career, when he got in the tube of the wave. The second thought that he had is referring to when he got sent to the E.R after a terrible surfing accident after…

    The bikes pass under the canopy of pine trees and through the line of junior counselors waving bright yellow oars in the air, while the rest of camp cheers us on. Arriving at the dock, one by one we toss our mountain bikes on the ground and join the line of people waiting to perform the ritual belly flop into Fan Lake. The crowd cringes in sympathy as each body hits the water. My heart races when it is finally my turn to jump with my arms and legs spread from the diving board. My stomach aches when I hit the water, but not as much as my legs do from riding 300 miles in a week. Splashing in the lake, I am amazed to have just completed the bike trip that begins the transition from camper to counselor at Camp Reed.…

    The sacred Hindi text is a story of self-actualization. Arjuna is faced with an existential crisis in the beginning of the story. He questions who he is and what he wants his life to be about. He wonders if what he does with his life is more important than the people in it, whom he loves. All these questions are much more intimidating when they are being asked in battle, where if he answers a question wrong, lives are at stake. He sees his family and friends in the audience, and his anxiety level rises. He says, “My dear Krishna, seeing my friends…

    1. The story of Arjuna and Krishna was a perfect metaphor for understanding the meaning of god in Hinduism as well as the importance of karma and reincarnation because it was so easy applicable to the average person. Arjuna is faced with a problem; he is hovering over what needs to be done and the needs of the people. He is really torn. You really start feeling for him because his story and hardships are very relatable to our lives. Lord Krishna tells him to submit all of his worries and stress to the Lord. He soon realizes in doing this that it helps him see what is real and what is in his head. Arjuna realizes how insignificant his problems really are. To sum it all up, if we can get ourselves to submit to the Lord, we will be able to see ourselves as part of the bigger picture.…

    While intertwining the three main paths of work, knowledge, and devotion, Krishna influences Arjuna through a series of persuasive points that allows readers of the Bhagavad Gita to reflect on in their own lives (Voorst 50). Krishna reasons to Arjuna by stating that atman are eternal. Therefore, Arjuna is not really killing a man; he is merely sending a person to the subsequent stage of reincarnation. This is in conjunction with Karma Yoga because Arjuna realizes that it’s not his actions, but his…

    In addition, according to Krishna, if he will withdraw from action, it is thus an act of self-delusion and the renunciation of moral and social responsibility. Krishna said that he [Arjuna] '…must learn to endure fleeting things- they come and go!" (2nd teaching: 14). He is convincing him to "fight the battle" (2nd: 18) and so if "he has courage, he is fit for immortality" (2nd: 15). He is always reminding him that his dharma requires him to fight. He adds, "No one exists for even an instant without performing action; however unwilling, every being is forced to act by the qualities of nature" (3rd: 5). Arjuna's hesitation may be valid in some points but it is orderly since it is human nature. He is overcome by doubts because he does not wish to be guilty of the death of his kin, but Krishna tell him that "actions imprisons the world unless it is done as sacrifice; freed from attachment, Arjuna, perform action as sacrifice!" (3rd: 9).…
