PHRASES IN THE GITA - 112
सर्वमेतद ऋतं मन्ये यत् वदसि ... (अध्याय १० - श्लोक १४)
ஸர்வமேதத் ர்தம் மன்யே யத் வதஸி .. (அத்யாயம் 10 - ஶ்லோகம் 14)
Sarvametad Rtam manye yat vadasi ... (Chapter 10 - Shlokam 14)
Meaning : I regard all that You say as True ....
Arjuna is a common man . Yes , extra-ordinarily skilled , but a very common human . Hence , we find the common trait in most men around us in these words of Arjuna .
Most of us accept as true and believe in whatever is said by so-called big personalities , big by virtue of wealth or education or post and power or name and fame . It is a very commonly seen trait . When one finds his arguments weakening in a conversation , he would drag these big men into the conversation , say "Oh ! This is what Aristotle has said " , "These are not my words but words of Narendra Modi" and try to shut the mouth of the other participant in conversation . Here , Shri Krishna is Arjuna's friend and cousin . Moreover , now while listening to Vibhooti Yoga , the tenth chapter in the Gita , when he utters these words , Arjuna is almost convinced that Shri Krishna is Shri Paramaatman in human form . (or Godly human or at least super human) .
What if he is 'Big' ? What if he is the Prime Minister of the country ? What if he is even the God ? Should his words be accepted and believed as True , just because he says and he is 'Big' ? In Tamil literature , there was a poet by name Nakkeeran , a poor Brahmin . He said to Shiva , "What if you open your third eye and exhume me ? You'll still be wrong .." But , we are commonfolks and can not be Nakkeran .
