In the first installment I would like you to reflect to the famous Mahabhrata serial where time was shown as a charioter wheel.Here wheel represents time and evolution:
Lets draw back to mahabharata :we find many instances where chariot wheel is used in syllogism with both motion and direction.
The various instances of a chariot in mahabharata involves:
Karna being brought up by a charioter.This means he belonged to a family who accompanies ones journey
Krishna being the chariot driver of arjuna.Krishna is a metaphor for consciousness.A person is compared to a chariot that is pulled in different directions by the horses yoked to it; the horses represent the senses. The kind is the driver consciousness :Krishna who holds the reins to these horses; but next to the mind sits the true observer, the self, who represents a universal unity. Without this self no coherent behaviour is possible.
The chariot of Karna being stuck in mud when arjuna kills him.A evolutions happens in time and creation in "no time".Time itself is a dimension of the creation matter and space.Karna represents sixth sense.The sixth sense substitutes all other senses Evolution of "Karna" must stop in order to win the battle against kauravas.Karna is now bound by material desires and that is how wheel stucks on the soft ground.
The wheel of time ;the wheel of distortion.Karna has become "Angraj"he is ruling the material world so one who is listening to Krishna is needed to kill the maligned and deluded sixth sense.
Defenceless, Abhimanyu fought with the wheel of his chariot when he enters the byuha:Abhimanyu represents arjuna in every form of self except the very fact that he has not conquered the last chakra :the 7th chakra of kundalini.Thus carrying the wheel on his head represents his struggle to control time to become the witness
to become at the state where t=0 :the seventh chakra.the state of shiva when one feels complete weightlessness and lack of ego.
The charioter Sanjay had the prenominition that krishna was delivering gita of self to Arjuna..........:Here charioter is an explanation for a reflective mind which engages his senses to detect the source of consciousness.
Let us ponder and realize why a charioter or a controller has been given so much substance in Mahabharata.
plz post ur invaluable comments........
hmm...yes...thought provoking indeed....i do agree with u completely reg the horses being the 5 senses , self n consciousness....coz thats something i have been contemplating on, these days.....
ReplyDeleteBUt the rest of them are entire new for me and are completely worthy of deep ponder...well written....i feel u can expand these ideas a lil bit...ofcourse ur own blog so u can edit them anytime....keep up the great work...i shall give a thoughtful read to each n every article n shall post my views as well...
Charioter represents the spiritual guide....the guide for our inner journey!!! He is the one who teaches us and guides us and tells us the right path we ought to follow!!! Hence charioter has to be given the importance!!! The wheel of Karna's chariot stucks....it suggests Karna has found the state of t=0...that means there no longer time and hence thought exists for him!!! Hence he has achieved the state of Samadhi!!!! Hence he is dead for Kauravas (material world) and is lost for the Pandavas as this is what they wanted sixth sense to be....because for the Kauravas to exist...both time (thoughts) and space must exist!!!
