Shri Durgaprasad asked: Paadanamaskaaram Swami, we have now the comfort of analysing different preachings of incarnations to consolidate the knowledge. But, still there may be some points one may miss. For example, Jesus said - revenge is mine. Had Krishna clearly said this to Draupadi, she would not have provoked Pandavas to take revenge. Thus, at different times, one can be in ignorance in some point or the other. How can such ignorance be removed if the person is not exposed exactly to the related knowledge? At Your lotus feet, Durgaprasad
Swami replied:- Do you think that Draupadi does not know this point? Her husband Dharmaraja was always telling her this point and was advising her continuously to be patient. In fact, he remained patient and Draupadi was observing a standing practical example. However, Draupadi thought of such nature to be the lack of emotional valour of Kshatriyas. The thoughts of previous birth solidified as samskaara always works and predominates decisions. Even Krishna told in the Gita that the soul will follow its Samskaara only and resistance of such Samskaaara will not be fruitful (Prakṛtiṃ yānti bhūtāni, Nigrahaḥ kiṃ kariṣyati?— Gita).
