Aaj aapka Sarthi kehta hai…
Ek baar fail hua, ab himmat hi nahi hoti
I failed once and lost all confidence
क्लैब्यं मा स्म गमः पार्थ नैतत्त्वय्युपपद्यते।
क्षुद्रं हृदयदौर्बल्यं त्यक्त्वोत्तिष्ठ परन्तप॥
Hindi: He Parth, kaayarta mat apnao, yeh tumhe shobha nahi deti. Hriday ki is chhoti si durbalta ko chhodkar utho.
English: Arjun, this weakness isn't who you are. Shake off this small faintness of heart and stand up.
Gita ki shuruaat mein Arjun dhanush neeche rakh kar, aankhon mein aansu liye baith gaye hain. Adhyay 2 mein Krishna ke pehle hi shabd yeh hain: daant bhi, aur himmat bhi.
Krishna ne Arjun ko pehle gyaan nahi diya, pehle unki himmat jagayi. Shabd 'kshudram hridaya-daurbalyam' kehta hai ki yeh kamzori chhoti si hai, aapki asli pehchaan nahi. Haar ke baad sabse pehle yahi sunna zaroori hai.
Katha: Pinky aur Hanuman ji ki bhooli hui shakti
Pinky Verma, 31, from Lucknow, opened a boutique. Eight months later it shut down. Since then she has become so shy that she even asks her husband to call the samosa wala. "Mujhse nahi hoga" is now her favourite line, said about everything from tailoring to choosing a WhatsApp profile photo.
One evening her little nephew was reading her his Ramayan comic. The vanar sena stood at the ocean and nobody could cross it. Hanuman ji sat quietly in a corner, because he had forgotten his own strength. Then old Jambavan walked up and said, "Pawanputra, tum bhool gaye ho ki tum kaun ho." Hanuman ji grew as tall as a mountain and leapt to Lanka.
"Bua," said the nephew, "Hanuman ji bhi bhool gaye the?" Pinky laughed. That same week, an old customer called: "Didi, woh aapka blouse design phir se chahiye." That customer was Pinky's Jambavan. Krishna does exactly this for Arjun: he doesn't give him new strength, he reminds him of his own.
Hanuman ji had to cross an ocean. You only have to stitch one blouse.
