Krishn said - "I am the soul living in the heart of everything. I am the Beginning, I am the Middle and I am the End. Of the Aadity I am Vishnu; of the lights I am the Sun; among the stars I am the Moon; of the Ved I am the Saam Ved; of the Indriyaan (senses) I am the mind; among the living beings I am the intellect; of the words I am the AUM; of the mountains I am the Meru Parvat; of the weapons I am the Vajra (thunderbolt of Indra); of those that measure I am the Time. I am the Death that destroys all; and I am the origin of things that are yet to born. Of all Mantra I am the Gaayatree Mantra. I stand pervading the Universe with a single fragment of Me."

Arjun said - "I want to see your Divine Form."

Krishn granted him Divine Eyes and revealed His Divine Form to him. It was like thousands Suns. He saw the entire Universe in Him. He bowed his head to Him. Folding his palms he said - "Oh Bhagvaan, I can see all the Devtaa along with Brahmaa and all Rishi in you. All mountains, rivers, Prithvi, all Lok etc are in you. Your form seems infinite. Have mercy on me, please tell me who you are?"

Krishn said - "Don't you recognize me? I am the TIME the great destroyer of the world. I have come here to destroy all these people. They will all die, all of them. In fact I kill them, not you. You are just the instrument with which I kill them. So you kill them and win the war."

Arjun's throat choked, he couldn't say a word. After a while he prayed - "You are the greatest; you are the Swaamee of the world; you are the greatest teacher. Please, assume your former form, I am unable to look at your this form." Krishn hid His Vishwaroop and appeared as Krishn, the Saarathee (charioteer) of Arjun, again. Krishn said - "My this form cannot be seen easily. I can be known only by devotion." Arjun again asked - "I want to know the true nature of Sanyaas and Tyaag (resignation)."

Krishn said - "The Rishi say that abandoning all works which are prompted by desire is called renunciation. Surrendering the fruits of all works is called Tyaag. Some say that all work should be abandoned as evil; while others say that works of sacrifice, gifts and Tapasyaa should not be given up. But I tell the reality. Work of any kind should not be given up. Work must be performed, but it should be done without attachment. So one should renounce only the fruits of work, not the work. The doer who has no feeling of "I", who is stable-minded, and who has no desire becomes one with Bhagvaan.

Who has clear vision; restrains himself from sensual pleasures; casts aside likes and dislikes; dwells in solitude; restrains his speech, body and mind; has no pride, anger, possession; is tranquil in mind becomes one with Bhagvaan. So fix your mind on me, be devoted to me, surrender all duties to me, I will free you from all sins.' Arjun said - "Hey Krishn, My delusion is gone. Now I will do my duty."

Thus Krishn explained him his Dharm and duties by telling Geetaa and prepared him for war. Krishn took up his Gaandeev and came in the front of the chariot. Krishn took the reins and proceeded His golden chariot towards Bheeshm's silvery chariot. (Go Back to Full Geetaa)

---:GEETAA ENDS HERE:---

Now Arjun was ready to fight. Seeing him taking up his Gaandeev, everybody got happy. Siddh, Chaaran, great Rishi came with Indra to witness the fight.

Suddenly all saw an amazing thing happening. Yudhishthir removed his armor, dropped all his weapons and walked bare feet towards Kaurav's army. Looking at this Arjun speedily followed him accompanied by his brothers. Krishn also followed him and so other principal kings. All his brothers asked him "What are you doing this, brother?" Yudhishthir kept silence but Krishn said - "I know what is in his mind. He is going to Bheeshm, Drone, Kripaa and Shalya too to take their permission to fight with them, because it is said that if a man fights with the permission of his elders, he is sure to win war. I also think in the same way." Seeing Yudhishthir coming towards Bheeshm, Duryodhan and his army thought that he was coming in fear. Indeed Yudhishthir was going with the same purpose.

He came to Bheeshm making his way through the Kaurav army surrounding Bheeshm, fell at his feet, and said with tears in his eyes - "Grandfather, War is now inevitable, we have to fight with you, please bless us that we come out of this war with victory." Bheeshm said - "My son, If you have not come to me, I would have given you Shaap of your defeat. But now I am very pleased with you. Whatever else you want to get out of this war, you will get it. A man is the slave of wealth, but the wealth is not anybody's slave. I am bound to Kaurav by their wealth that is why I am saying this like a eunuch. What else do you want?" Yudhishthir said - "Everyday you pray for my victory, although you fight for Kaurav." Bheeshm said - "How can I help you in this? Of course I will fight for your foes. Tell me what else you have to say?" Yudhishthir asked - "Pitaamaha, How are we going to defeat you who are invincible? Tell me this in my benefit." Bheeshm said - "I don't think that anybody, even the chief of the celestials, can defeat me when I fight." Yudhishthir asked - "I salute you. Then how your death will be by your foes?" Bheeshm again said - "I do not think anybody can defeat me in battle. Besides, the time of my death has not come yet." Yudhishthir accepted his words by bending his head to him and proceeded towards Drone.

Then Yudhishthir went to Drone. Drone also said the same thing what Bheeshm had told him. When Yudhishthir asked as how he could win him, Drone said - "Nobody can win me as long as I am showering my arrows except when addressed by Death himself having abandoned my arms and soul withdrawn (by meditation). I tell you one thing more that I will drop my arms if I will hear something very disagreeable from someone of credible speech." After saluting him then Yudhishthir proceeded towards Kripaa and said - "With your permission I will fight and defeat all my enemies." He also said the same thin what Bheeshm and Drone said, then asked what did he want." Yudhishthir said - "O great Guru, I ask you..." an he could not say anything further. Deprived of his senses the king stood silent. Kripaa understood what he wanted to say so he said - "I cannot be slain, just fight and get victory. Every morning I will pray for your victory." Hearing this and bending his head to him Yudhishthir went to Shalya.

He said to him - "By your permission I fight you and defeat my enemies." Shalya said - "If you have not come to me, I would have given you Shaap. But now I am very pleased with you. I grant the permission and let the victory be with you. What else can I give you? A man is the slave of wealth, but wealth is no man's slave. That is why I speak to you like a eunuch, ask what else you want from me?" Yudhishthir said - "Think everyday my good. Fight for my foe as you wish. That is all I wish." Shalya said - "Of course I will pray for your good, although I will have to fight for your enemy because they have made me one of their party by wealth." Yudhishthir said - "One thing more, you should weaken Karn's energy in the battle." Shalya said - "So be it. Go and fight according to your wish, I shall look after your victory." Yudhishthir came back to his side along with his brothers.

While all this was going on, Krishn again managed to go to Karn and said - "I have heard that because of Bheeshm's hatred you are not fighting. Come to our side and watch the war till Bheeshm is not slain. After that you may go back to Duryodhan's side if you have preference to go there. Karn said laughing - "Why these childish arguments? I will not do anything which is disagreeable to Duryodhan. I have laid down my life for him." Hearing this Krishn came back to Paandav.
