"Ink dries up faster writing Plea's" ...
A plea is a silent scream from heart, waiting to be heard ... it's true that these days the ink has begun to dry faster writing plea after plea ... no one has the time to listen or if they do they just do not want to be bothered ....
** This reminds me of Sunny-pajji's dialogue tariq pe tariq, tarq pe tariq ... what is this plea all about??? gone are the days when a silent scream/ a single tear drop would raise concerns from near and dear ones ...
we forget that ...
Silence is golden when done for peace ...
Silence is cowardliness if done when in need ...
But above all silence is crime when done despite having power/ authority to resolve injustice done or watched mutely ...
** This is beautifully explained by Sri Krishna to Bhishma Pitama after Kurukshetra war/ Dharma Yudha ...
** As Bhishma lay helplessly on the bed of arrows blood oozing out of his body, vultures eagerly waiting to have it someday, the only question that came repeatedly to his mind was, were had he gone wrong? he had always fulfilled his Bhishma pratigya/ Vow to honor, protect and stand by Hastinapur throne ... he puts his plea to Sri Krishna seeking answer ...
** Sri Krishna himself is pained to see Bhishma's plight but Dharma/ Righteousness had to be upheld, that was the very purpose of his Krishnavatara ... he assures bhishma that all his life he had not dwindled and stood true to his vow, setting an example with dignity ...
** However, Bhishma's major crime was when he chose to remain silent instead of speaking out against the indecent behavior of Dushasana towards a helpless woman being molested in public, right in front of his own eyes, that was an uncallous behavior, an unpardonable crime ...
** Sri Krishna then continues to say that Bhishma could have stopped it all as he was not only the eldest, but also the caretaker of the kingdom, moreover Draupadi, the victim, was also his daughter-in-law who had always given him respect and the place of a father ...
** Draupadi had pleaded in vain out to him, to save her dignity, but he had just sat there bowing his head in shame, but a silent spectator, choosing to remain deaf to her plea's, he had not only let her down, but all the women of the kingdom too ... thereby committing the biggest sin of watching a helpless women being targeted ...
** Sri Krishna further tell's Bhishma that he had forgotten that Dharma was above all ... yes, he would have broken his Vow had he rushed to her aid, but that would have to been a far lesser crime than this sin ... Sri Krishna here differentiates on the priorities that should be given to things in life ... how in the first place one should think a lot before making a Vow, so that in future it would not be a hurdle ... and if done then too one should give utmost priority in upholding of Dharma ....
** Here we learn from Sri Krishna that ...
Silence is connivance ....
Connivance is betrayal ...
Betrayal is sin ...
And ... Sin is a punishable offence.
** It is not that Sri Krishna had no love for Bhishma, in fact he respected him and grieved from within for his condition ... but he had descended to earth for Dharma Stapana and had to act accordingly leaving aside feelings ...
** Sri Krishna says in Bhagavad Gita (verses 7 and 8 of Chapter 4) ...
"Yada-yada hi dharmasya ..
Glanir bhavati bharata ..
Abhyutthanam adharmasya ..
Tadatmanam srjam yaham ..
Paritranaya sadhunam ..
Vinasaya cha duskritam ..
Dharma- samsthapanarthaya ..
Sambhavami yuge- yuge" ...
which in one line means when there rise in injustice, he listens to the plea of helplessness and descends on earth in some form to re-establish Dharma ...
** Sri Krishna always hears to silent pleas of righteous and by those who follow the path if Dharma and reaches out to them in some form ... 🙏
