Peace!

Sri Krsna said to Sanjay: You have audacity to speak about morality now, but at that time when Draupadi was insulted, you too had remained silent. Because Karna spoke crudely to Draupadi, calling her Kauravā’s slave while urging her to accept another husband, because Dushasana chided Pāndavās as they dressed in deerskin preparing to depart for forest & because Sakuni arrogantly suggested that since all else was lost Yudhisthira should wager his wife-these 3 are doomed for destruction. Their only atonement will be if they voluntarily give Yudhisthira his kingdom with great respect

He continued: Just to give them the opportunity, I’ll personally go to Hastināpur. I’ll give Duryodhana good advice & try to settle matter peacefully. However, only if Kurus pay Me due respect upon My arrival & agree to My proposals unconditionally will they be saved from clutches of death. Pāndavās are just as ready to wait upon their old, blind uncle as they are prepared to fight. The choice is in Dhritrāshtra’s hands. You should return to Hastināpur & relay to him all that I’ve said

Sanjay took permission to depart from Maharāj Yudhisthira & begged: If the words I spoke from core of my heart were in any way offensive to you, pls forgive me

Yudhisthira said: I can assure you that you’re very dear to me & my brothers, just as Vidura is. On my behalf, pls meet all classes of citizens upon returning & assure them of my well being. Also enquire about their welfare

In addition, I want you to relay this message to Duryodhana: You obsession of ruling Kurus without rival is most unreasonable. Although thought of sharing kingdom with us must torture your heart, you’ll have to give Indraprastha willingly or else fight. Appeal to Dhritrāshtra by reminding him how he raised us in our childhood & then bestowed upon us our kingdom when we attained maturity. Ask him for what reason we should now be denied sovereignty

Remind Bhisma of how he had helped to revive the line of Shantanu when it had almost become extinct. Ask him how he can now encourage this fratricidal war that will completely destroy Kuru dynasty. Assure all Kurus that we are willing to forgive all insults received from them, even Dushasana dragging of Draupadi, provided we're given at least one province or even 5 villages to rule. We are anxious to achieve a peaceful settlement so that Kurus may not be unnecessarily annihilated

Convince the Kurus that I’m not saying this out of fear, for we are living here quite happily & are fully confident of our prowess

Peace should always be given the best chance. But giving chance to peace doesn’t mean that the other party is fearful of outcome, it just means they are courageous enough to opt for the harmony in between cacophony. Violence should be the last option & should be used as a deterrent but should always be an option. Let’s get out of the trappings of the matrix of our own creation & see realities

Also it starts with the PEACE Within
