Great gobbler, great adversity; Foe who stands between knower and knowing.
- Ch.4, verse 37, Battlefield Counsel.
Christian traditions talk of devil as tempter.
Islamic traditions too speak of satan, the distractor.
Even Buddhists talk of Mara, the tempter.
Images show, distractions that hover and dance around, a Buddha in meditation.
But Krishna, is not so ambiguous.
He pin points and light up the culprit, as one's own Rajasic hues.
Clearly, he seems to speak from the Samkhya stream, of classical thought.
- Swami Chinmayananda.
