Supreme was Himself present on earth, such rulers swarmed on the surface of the globe, so that He became the architect of the Battle of Kuruksetra.

The Lord explained his devastating mission to Prince Arjuna in these terms:

“Of my own free will, I have come down to earth in the form of inexorable time in order to reduce the number of unwanted. Apart from you, the Pandavas, they will all perish, warriors of the two armies that confront each other. The punishment will not await your participation; all, by My order, are already destroyed. If you want the glory of being the hero of this battle and winning the stakes of the war, then become, in this struggle, the immediate cause of victory, and let men take the credit for it. I have already put to death all the valiant warriors, Drona, Bhisma, Jayadratha, Karna and the other great generals. Have no fear. Fight and you will be celebrated as a great hero.”

The coming of the Lord comes to destroy the rebels. His acts are of a spiritual and absolute nature, and are open to the understanding of all beings.

Logos 129

Blessed are those who know the activities of the Supreme Lord, for they will penetrate his greatness and be happy in all respects.

Whoever wishes to sincerely serve the Lord with devotion is led to become a soul entirely subject to the Absolute Divine Person. He can, during his wanderings, realize the truths, and thereby free himself from all doubt. He was not disappointed that he had to leave his homeland and home, because he had now realized through his own experience that to depend on the mercy of the Lord represents greater freedom than is believed enjoy at home. No one should embrace the order of renunciation and live as a hermit unless they are firm in their belief that they are protected by the Lord.

In truth, every being depends entirely on the mercy of the Lord, but unless one is established on the level of purity, no one can know this state. Such dependence is called “purification of existence”, and the result of this purification is manifested in the absence of fear. Thus, a devotee of the Lord has no fear, because he always remains aware that the Lord protects him in all circumstances.
