Chinmaya Aradana 2017

Arjuna falls silent at end of the 14th.

And Krishna is free to talk about what he really cares - the 15th chapter.

A picture is painted about a tree which shelters horses - Aswattha.

With vedas as leaves,  sense-objects as buds, branches growing downward and rooted skyward.

And he speaks about cutting down this invisible tree with the weapon of dis-association.

In the absence of a pictorial Body- Mind- Intellect chart, we see the use of a peepul tree imagery.

In any organisation, there is hierarchy - with roots at the CEO, board of directors, branches of various departments, executives, foliage of staff and so on.

A pyramidal array exists unseen in every organisation, institution. And aren't the most important elements always at the top?

- Swami Chinmayananda
