Swami Vishwananda: One major factor that stops mankind from becoming love is the mind. To overcome the mind, chant any Divine name. When you practice this regularly, the mind will focus on simplicity.After the battle of Kurukshetra, Arjuna and Krishna were walking together in the fields. Krishna raised his hand and said to Arjuna: “Look at these birds in the sky how nice they are!”
“Yes, the birds are nice,” answered Arjuna as he looked into the sky.
“There are no birds flying in the sky,” said Krishna.
“No, there are no birds in the sky,” answered Arjuna.
“Look how nice these birds are,” again said Krishna. “They are really magnificent.”
“Yes,” said Arjuna; “these birds are really magnificent.”
“Why are you always repeating what I am saying?” asked Krishna. “There are no birds in the sky.”
“Yes, it is true,” said Arjuna. I don’t see any birds in the sky, but I know that you could manifest these birds at any moment and let them fly in the sky.”
Arjuna had total faith in Krishna and had totally surrendered body, mind and soul to the Divine. He did not trust his mind or his eyes, but he trusted every word from his Divine Satguru. It is the mind that stops man from becoming Love.
