Thoughts and Senses are our Most Valued Tools

Knowing how and when to withdraw thoughts and senses from this material world is more important than engaging them, just like an army general handles his troops. Mahabharata teaches us what happened to Abhimanyu because he did not have this important skill and could not withdraw from the padmavyuham, when he had to. Vishnu Pendyala

Thoughts and Senses are the Weapons of the Warriors that we are

Knowing how and when to withdraw thoughts and senses from this material world is more important than engaging them, just like it is important for an army general to know when and how to engage and disengage his troops. The Mahabharatha epic teaches us through Abhimanyu's war strategies that it could be fatal if one does not know how to withdraw, however mighty the person is. Vishnu Pendyala
