The root cause of all sorrow and suffering in this world is our inability to deal with conflict.. Conflict is everywhere, and we have to learn to handle it. (1/7)
The root cause of all sorrow and suffering in this world is our inability to deal with conflict.. Conflict is everywhere, and we have to learn to handle it. (1/7)
The sooner we recognize this universal truth about conflict and its impact, the sooner we can progress in our personal, professional, and ultimately, spiritual journeys.We experience conflict at three levels – material, mental and spiritual.(2/7)
When confronting the material conflict of battle, Arjun’s rational mind was clear he was a warrior, and he had entered the battlefield to fight a war against the enemy for a just cause. But, upon seeing his family on the enemy side, his rational mind became conflicted.(3/7)
Should I kill my family? Or should I perform my duty?Eventually his ego – the primitive side of his mind – took control away from his rational mind. It made him say, it is better to run away and become a monk, than to perform my duty.(4/7)
The inability to reconcile this conflict in his mind led to his mental breakdown in the middle of the battlefield. He could not commit to fighting, and being unable to decide, he wanted to quit. (5/7)
In his speech to Shri Krishna, Arjuna used logic to justify his quitting the battle. This is what many of us to – we run away from our conflicts, and use logic, or even God or religion – a whole host of rationalizations – to justify our quitting to ourselves, and to others.(6/7)
The confusion of identity is, the third type of conflict, the spiritual conflict. Unless we know how we are, who God is, we will never be able to completely resolve all our material and mental conflicts. (7/7)
