That night, the Pandava brothers, along with Krishna, gathered in Kunti’s chamber to discuss the day’s events. The tension from the court lingered in the air, and the brothers knew tomorrow would bring another test.
Bhima, was the first to speak. “The Kauravas will not rest. They will try again to manipulate the situation tomorrow for their own gain. We must be careful.”
Yudhishthira, sighed and replied, “I will follow and accept whatever the king and Pitamah Bhishma decide. Their wisdom has guided this kingdom for years.”
Bhima clenched his fists in frustration, but before he could respond, Arjun, who had been quietly observing Krishna’s silence, turned toward his cousin. “Madhav, you’ve been quiet all evening. What are your thoughts on this? How do you see tomorrow unfolding?”
Krishna, who had been leaning back against a pillar with his usual calm demeanor, smiled slightly and met Arjun’s gaze. “Parth,” he began in his soft but powerful voice, “everything that happens in this world, happens for a reason. You must remember that those who walk the path of dharma will always find protection in dharma itself.”
He paused, allowing his words to settle in the room before continuing, “The Kauravas may scheme, plot, and manipulate as much as they like, but truth and righteousness will always prevail. Your duty is to stay true to your path, not be swayed by fear or anger.”
Bhima still looked restless, but Krishna’s words had a calming effect on the group. “krishna,” Yudhishthira said after a moment, “you always guide us when we need it most. Your wisdom brings peace to my troubled mind.”
Krishna nodded. “Stay assured, my dear cousins. Tomorrow will unfold as it must. But always remember, the ones who uphold dharma will always be protected by it.”
Kunti, who had been silently listening, finally spoke. “You are my sons, and I know you will face whatever challenges come your way with honor and strength. Trust in yourselves and in each other.”
With their mother’s blessing and Krishna’s counsel, the Pandavas felt a renewed sense of calm and purpose.
After the discussion with his brothers and Krishna, Arjun and Krishna decided to take a walk in the quiet gardens of the palace. The moonlight bathed the pathways in a serene glow, and the gentle rustling of leaves provided a peaceful backdrop to their conversation. They spoke of the uncertainties that lay ahead and the deeper truths of life, but mostly, Arjun found comfort in Krishna’s presence.
