ONE day, Sri Krishna, while going in a chariot
along with Arjuna, looked up to the sky and said,
"Behold! What a nice flight of pigeons there!"
Arjuna at once turned his eyes in that direction and
exclaimed, "Really, friend, very beautiful pigeons
indeed!" But the very next moment Sri Krishna
looked again and said, "No, friend, they are not
pigeons, it seems." Arjuna, too, saw again and said,
"True, they are not pigeons."
Now try to understand the meaning of this. A great
adherent to truth that Arjuna was, he did not
possibly assent to whatever Sri Krishna said, simply
for flattering him. But he had such an unflinching
faith in Sri Krishna that he perceived at once
actually whatever Sri Krishna said.
