Everyone is moving toward You

amī ca tvāṃ dhṛtarāṣṭrasya putrāḥ sarve sahaivāvanipālasaṅghaiḥbhīṣmo droṇaḥ sūtaputrastathāsau sahāsmadīyairapi yodhamukhyaiḥ

All these sons of Dhritarashtra, with their many kings, Bhishma, Drona and Karna, and our own great warriors too...

What it means

Arjuna sees something he wasn't ready for. The Kaurava princes. Kings beyond counting. Bhishma, his grandfather. Drona, his teacher. Karna, his rival. And warriors from his own side too. All of them moving toward Krishna's cosmic form. He's seeing time itself drawing everyone toward their end.

The story

Arjuna sees the faces he loves and fears, both sides at once, swept along by something larger than the war. It isn't a prophecy of victory. It's the vast movement of time, in which every life is held.

In your life

Think of looking at an old school photo and realising how many in it have already passed. Time moves for everyone. Let that make you gentler with the people in your life today.
