According to Gita, a balanced person is who has found his
equilibrium between the pairs of opposites,like pleasure and pain, riches and
poverty, hope and despair, optimism and pessimism. Krishna quotes this to
Arjuna. When we look at Pandavas, when they completed their period of exile for
twelve long years in the forest devoid of all the luxuries and royal comforts
and when the balance sheet was struck the assets outweighed the liabilities.
They were graduated at the great forest university of fortitude and
forbearance, adversity and agony, trails and tribulations. They enjoyed the
company of saints. They emerged stronger from the probation of discipline and
deligence. This conveys a message that their misfortune was metamorphosed into
memorable opportunity- a privilege of intimate association with intellectual
giants and spiritual stalwarts. Ultimately this shows that any crisis can be
converted for a beneficial/benevolent opportunity. Krishna indirectly conveys
this to Arjuna.
