Bhagavad-Gita: Elsõ fejezet: A hadak szemléje
(46.) Sanjaya szólt: Ekképp szólva a csatatéren, Arjuna félredobta íját
és nyílvesszõit, majd harci szekerére rogyva szívét elborította a
bánat.
(hogy hogy jutott el idáig Arjuna és miért, azt megtudhatjuk az előtte lévő 45 versszakból; szerk.)

Scientific understanding is also similar. In
earlier days when Faraday discovered electricity, many people laughed,
“What is this? It is mere curiosity. What utility can we have from this
electricity?”
I once read an account of Faraday demonstrating an experiment to show the effect of his discovery. He generated electricity with a machine and then he showed small pieces of paper being moved by that electric current. Many were satisfied to see his new discovery, but then a lady remarked, “But after all this, Mr Faraday, what practical benefit shall we derive from this luxury play of yours?”
Faraday replied, “Madam, can you please tell me what is the utility of a newborn babe?” His point was that when a baby is born we have to take care of him, then, when grown, his energy will be put to work usefully. Similarly, some consider that God consciousness is only a luxury, a fashion, or a play—that it has no practical application or direct utility. But when God consciousness becomes intense, those who experience it will see that all other activities, however apparently important, have no value. Why? Because ultimately we want to live. We don’t want to die.
To live is the main and general necessity of us all. None can deny that they want to live, and not only live, but live happily, properly, and consciously. Furthermore, we want to avoid all affliction, misery, and suffering.
When God consciousness arises within someone, he can see clearly, “Why is everyone engaged in a wild goose-chase in this material world? Everyone wants happiness, but all are chasing a phantasmagoria.”

If one has no eyes but another can see, the
blind man will naturally seek help from the one who has vision. We are
also blind to what is within ourselves, otherwise what is the necessity
of consulting a doctor? The doctor can see what we cannot;
he will diagnose the disease and then we will undergo treatment.
Naturally we will have respect for his diagnosis and will give him
something for his assistance. It is not unreasonable.
The guru is the specialist doctor, and we will understand his qualification when we come to see that what he says is real and not imaginary. Such vision will depend upon the degree of awakenment of the eye. If one who is blind is treated by a capable doctor he will gradually directly perceive, “Yes, I begin to see something. I now have some eye-experience.” From that time on he won’t care for the speculative opinions of the other blind people, but he will have his own direct capacity to see. With the coming of sight he can understand that the application of the medicine has some real effect.

The subject of the higher things discovered by the mental ‘telescope’ or the soul’s ‘telescope’ has been dealt with in the scriptures. Such subject matter is known by the saints, and we have to take their help in order to have entrance into that land. We are not at present in a position to have experience of the higher plane, but later, by the help of the saints and scriptures, when we ourselves have that type of ‘telescope’ vision we will be able to have such a higher experience.
स्वे स्वेऽधिकारे या निष्ठा स गुणः परिकीर्त्तितः ।
sve sve ’dhikāre yā niṣṭhā sa guṇaḥ parikīrtitaḥ
“Adherence to one’s own plane of qualification is laudable.”
अचिन्त्याः खलु ये भावा न तांस्तर्केण योजयेत् ।
achintyāḥ khalu ye bhāvā na tāṁs tarkeṇa yojayet
Don’t let the argumentative spirit overshadow everything. Argument is not all in all. It is not that it must be the resort of every belief. The spiritual realm is achintya, inconceivable; nonetheless, we must try to understand things according to our capacity, faith, and realisation. Above all, we have to accommodate within our mind that sweetness is sweet, and truth is truth, however incomprehensible it may be, but we should not take any standard from here and apply it to that higher realm.

The scriptures compare the suffering of the conditioned soul to a man dreaming that a tiger is coming to attack him. Within his dream the sleeping man feels very fearful and suffers great pain. Within his dream he cries out, “Tiger! Tiger! Ah! Save me! Save me!” If any of his friends are awake nearby, what will they do? If they are intelligent they will see that their friend is only dreaming and try to wake him up. They won’t search for a stick to scare away the tiger or anything like that. They will only try to wake him up, “Wake up! Wake up! There is no tiger attacking you. You are simply dreaming in your bed.” When the sleeping person awakens he will see, “Oh. There is no tiger attacking me actually. I was only dreaming.”

Gentlemen,
We love to read a book which we have never read before. We are anxious to gather whatever information is contained in it, and with such acquirement, our curiosity stops. This mode of study prevails amongst a great number of readers, who are great men in their own estimation as well as in the estimation of those who are of their own stamp. In fact, most readers are mere repositories of facts and statements made by other people. But this is not study. The student is to read facts with a view to create and not with the object of fruitless retention. Students, like satellites, should reflect whatever light they receive from authors and not imprison facts and thoughts just as the magistrates imprison convicts in the jail. Thought is progressive. The author’s thought must have progress in the reader in the shape of correction or development. He is the best critic who can show the further development of an old thought, but a mere denouncer is the enemy of progress and consequently of nature. “Begin anew”, says the critic, “because the old masonry does not answer at present. Let the old author be buried because his time is gone.” These are shallow expressions. Progress certainly is the law of nature, and there must be corrections and developments with the progress of time. But progress means going further or rising higher. Now, if we are to follow our foolish critic, we are to go back to our former terminus and make a new race, and when we have run half the race, another critic of his stamp will cry out: “Begin anew, because the wrong road has been taken!” In this way our stupid critics will never allow us to go over the whole road and see what is in the other terminus. Thus the shallow critic and the fruitless reader are the two greatest enemies of progress. We must shun them.
