Drudhrashtra who is blind, is filled with overwhelming curiosity to know what is happening at the battle field.

Let us imagine ourselves in his position. Having born blind, he does not know anytihng except intangible emotions and he is blinded also by affection and love towards his kith and kins.

He might have wished, to be there in the battle, fighting for his kids, but alas, his physical handicap, does not allow him to do so. He cant even see the battle with his own eyes.

HE BORROWS sanjaya's eyes and tries to position himself in the battle field, worried, anxioius, may be in a corner of his mind, he still wished the battle was not called for. He might have still wished it can be called off even now, its never late than never. He might be worried, thinking about who all has taken whose side in kurukshetra. Assessing the weakness and strenghs of both the sides. Contemplating how the fate is going to end. Worried about arjuna's valour, worried about vows and pledges which pandavas swore against their sons and vice versa. With innumerable mental torture drudrashtra would have been waiting to hear news from sanjaya

Are we not in this situation everyday in life? We know not, what is in store in future. We are anxious, worried, trying to imagine or forsee or picturise what would happen at any near point in future.

We may not be present for any wedding of our beloved kith or kin, or at exam hall when our kids do our exams or at any trying moments of our beloved.

We try to forsee, what would have happend in any span of time. We try to imagine.

Such is the nature of mind, Wavery/anxious (despite of intellect ruling it).

AT situations like these where we are torn apart due to pressures and worries, INTELLECT hardly works for normal not so tamed minds.

(talks or corrections or explanations or versions or discussions or examples or citing ur own life situations are most welcome )

(we shall see the next verse tomm)
