Here we Begin our Journey
The First Secret: Life as a War
I’ll tell you a secret… life is not what it looks like on the surface.
Most of us believe life is just a collection of random events, a chain of days strung together by chance. But one morning, while reading the Shrimad Bhagwad Geeta, I realised that wasn’t true. Life itself is a grand stage—already written, already designed, like the epic battlefield of Mahabharat.
And in this story, we are not spectators. We are Arjun. Confused, restless, and burdened with questions that pierce the heart: Why am I here? What is my role? What is the meaning of all this?
Just like Arjun, we stand at crossroads, unable to move forward, paralyzed by doubt. And just like Arjun, we need a voice—Krishna’s voice—to reveal the hidden truth behind our struggles. The Geeta is not just scripture; it is a mirror to our own inner war.
The Chariot of Existence
The battlefield is not only outside—it is within. And the chariot we ride is not made of wood and wheels, but of flesh and bones. This body is our vessel, carrying us through the journey of life.
We polish it, decorate it, feed it, and sometimes even curse it. But rarely do we stop to see the sacred symbolism it carries. The chariot of Arjun is a metaphor for our human body, the container through which we experience the play of existence.
Yet a chariot, no matter how beautifully built, is useless without what drives it forward. Without horses, it stands still. Similarly, our body without senses cannot move through life. Our journey depends not only on the vessel, but on how we manage the forces that pull it.
That’s when I realised: the secret lies in the horses. The senses are not accessories to life—they are its drivers.
The Five Horses – Our Senses
The five horses of Arjun’s chariot represent our five senses—sight, sound, taste, touch, and smell. They are gifts, powerful channels through which we connect with the world. Without them, life would be an empty void.
But here’s the problem: horses are wild by nature. If left untrained, they run in every direction. They chase after temptations, get startled by noise, or collapse under exhaustion. In the same way, our senses, when uncontrolled, drag us into chaos.
Each horse carries an illness. Sight is clouded by lust (kaam), hearing is distorted by anger (krodh), taste succumbs to greed (lobh), touch binds us in attachment (moh), and smell is tainted by ego (ahankar). These are not just flaws—they are the enemies on our battlefield.
When the senses are sick, they no longer obey us. They pull us into endless cycles of craving and suffering. And so the real challenge of life is not conquering the world outside but training these inner horses, so they obey the rider’s call.
The Ego Trap
Nobody talks about this, but I will… even if we tame the horses, even if the chariot looks perfect, we still stumble. Why?
Because of ego. The whispering voice that says: “I can do this on my own. I don’t need help. I don’t need surrender.” Ego is subtle. It hides inside discipline, inside achievement, even inside spiritual practice. It tricks us into believing we are the master.
But Krishna’s words reveal the truth: the self that clings to power, that refuses to bow, is the very trap that binds us. Ego blinds the rider. It disconnects us from the divine charioteer who waits patiently to take the reins.
I realised that the greatest block in life is not weakness, not failure, not even desire—it is ego. The stubborn refusal to admit that we cannot win this battle alone. True strength begins the moment we drop the illusion of control and whisper, “Krishna, guide me.”
Wheel Alignment – The Mind
What if I told you the real steering power of the chariot does not lie in the reins, but in the wheels?
No matter how strong your horses, no matter how sturdy your chariot—if the wheels are misaligned, you will go astray. In life, the wheels are our mind. An unstable mind wobbles, shakes, and pushes us off course. Even the strongest body and healthiest senses collapse without mental alignment.
To align the mind is not easy. It requires discipline. Satvik routines, meditation, gratitude, daily devotion—these are not rituals, they are tools. Each one polishes the wheels, making them steady and smooth. A calm, focused mind creates direction, while a restless mind spins out of control.
This alignment is not a one-time act; it is daily maintenance. Just as vehicles need regular tuning, the mind needs constant care. And the surprising part? A steady mind doesn’t just control the journey—it transforms the journey. It turns chaos into clarity, confusion into confidence.
Surrender – The Hidden Victory
This isn’t theory. This is lived truth.
The Geeta taught me that even with the best horses, the strongest chariot, and the sharpest alignment, you will not win unless you let Krishna hold the reins. Victory in life does not come from sheer willpower. It comes from surrender.
The ego hates this truth. It wants to control everything. But the moment we let go, the universe begins to flow with us. Creation itself bends to guide our steps. This is not weakness—it is the highest form of wisdom.
When Krishna holds the reins, life stops being a struggle. The senses calm down. The path becomes clear. And the rider—our consciousness—finally feels peace. The hidden victory of life is not domination but surrender. Not “I did it” but “We did it, together with creation.”
The Blessing of Stories
One last confession.
I was blessed with grandparents who filled my childhood with the stories of Krishna, Ram, Hanuman. Night after night, as sleep tugged at my eyes, I would listen to these stories as if they were fairy tales. Back then, I thought they were just bedtime adventures.
But today, I see them for what they truly were—seeds planted deep in my soul. Every story carried a hidden lesson. Every character was a reflection of life’s truths. These stories were not entertainment; they were preparation.
Looking back, I realise that those bedtime tales were my first Geeta. My first classroom. My first whispers of wisdom. And they shaped the way I see life today—not as a problem to be solved, but as a story to be lived.
Life as a Story
The greatest lesson the Geeta and those stories gave me is this: life is not a puzzle to crack—it is a story to explore.
Think of how a child listens to a tale—eyes wide, heart open, filled with wonder. That is how life is meant to be lived. Not with impatience to know the end, but with joy in discovering each twist and turn.
Every challenge is a chapter. Every success is a verse. Every failure is a pause in the rhythm. The purpose is not to control the story but to live it fully—with curiosity, gratitude, and trust.
When we live life this way, every day becomes sacred. Every moment becomes alive. And suddenly, the battlefield of life turns into the most beautiful story ever told.
The Invitation Forward
So here is my invitation to you.
Be Arjun. Question, doubt, explore. Sit on your chariot with courage. Train your horses with love. Align your wheels with discipline. And when the weight of life feels too heavy—hand the reins to Krishna.
Because the purpose of life is not to conquer it but to live it. Not to master it but to explore it. To walk with wonder, to surrender with love, and to discover the hidden magic behind every moment.
