Haiku #19

My limbs tremble and

As my mouth is drying up

Am getting goosebumps… // 1 – 29 //

The moment of war. Arjun has started looking and thinking. And he is anxious now, not about the result. But he is anxious that now he will have to fight his own people for a piece of land. So he starts arguing.

The same happens with us. At crossroads we start thinking and sometimes overthinking and we react in the same manner, the way Arjun did. Do we have our Krishna with us? Who will guide us? The same Shreemad Bhagwad Geeta which guided Arjun.

The shlok for your reference :
सीदन्ति मम गात्राणि मुखं च परिशुष्यति ।
वेपथुश्च शरीरे मे रोमहर्षश्च जायते ।।

My limbs are giving way and my mouth is drying up. My whole body shudders; my hair is standing on end.
