Change your Style of talking : your language

Normally we get over anxious or get involved in unnecessary worries due to our style of talking, our language. Control your tongue, your language. You hurt people with your rough language. You lose good friends due to your piercing language.

It would be better to check how do you talk or interact with others. Guruji says if you want to learn to talk nicely then read and understand Geeta. Learn from Lord Krishna. Arjun was under severe depression. He did not want to fight against his near and dear ones. He told Krishna his bow and arrow are falling, he dropped them. his mouth has dried, he is feeling uneasy. These are some signs of depression where we have no strength to fight against our close relatives. But his cousins had no such feeling, they were restless to fight against them. They were making all preparations to punish Pandavaas for no fault of theirs. Krishna tried his best to bring some kind of peace but the enemies did not agree. They were bent on fighting against pandavaas.

When Krishna knew that war is inevitable and Arjun is under deep depression, he used his beautiful weapon of polite and encouraging language. It sounded like flute to Arjun. It gave him extra strength to bring back glory which they had lost. To bring jubilation in Arjun's mind, to wake him up, see how Lord made Arjun sit on the chariot as his Master and Krishna became his sarathi to run the chariot.

Krishna says "Arjun you are my bhakt. Your are my friend. You are my soul, my breath. You are my everything (Bhakto asi Me sakha cheti). Have you heard anybody in your own family talking in this style. We don't talk with our near and dear ones like this. There was no feeling of Ego in Krishna and Arjun's relationship. It was deep love and understanding. It was this beautiful language and wonderful conversation which impressed Arjun totally.

If you speak politely and with love to somebody, they would respect you. They will pay attention to you and would return their love. We should have that quality and tact to help somebody to overcome their depression. In the tenth chapter of Bhagwat Geeta Lord Krishna also told Arjun emphatically "I am Himalaya amongst mountains, Peepal amongst trees, Ganga amongst rivers, Naraad amongst Devarishis, Vyas amongst Yogis, but he says Oh! Arjun, amongst Pandavas I am Dhananjaya, you Arjun. There is no difference between You and Me. Arjun felt he is seventh Heaven. He was so flattered and happy. He started blooming like a flower. Whole feeling of depression disappeared and he felt that if whole world goes against him , his true friend Krishna will always be with him. He will never betray him. Krishna went to the extent to show his Viraat Swaroop. To show that everything on this earth is his creation. He went to the extent that if need be he will use his Sudarshan Chakra. He will do anything for his friend. He told Arjun "I cannot stay without you. You are so precious to me." The bond between them was very strong.

Pay attention to the conversation between Arjun and Krishna. Do we try to help somebody with our polite words and language in overcoming their depression. Do we think of others like this. Our little efforts in changing our style of talking can bring wonders in the life of people who are under severe depression due to physical and mental illness.

Once during Mahabharata war Arjun had some doubts whether they will be able to win over Kauravas, Krishna gave assure to him by keeping his hand on Arjun's shoulder. He said "Ishtoasi me dradmiti" You are my Isht, my God. Isht means the idol in the temple whom we pray. This assurance gave Arjun strength and recovered from his feeling of depression.

If you cant help anybody, then atleast use polite and kind words to them. Don't betray and hurt anybody.
