(The original Tamil post  about this came in Dinamalar 2011.That write up   was posted  by  many friends recently  in Face book  .I was great  attracted by it  and rewritten it  in my own words,Thank you dhina Malar  , Thank you  friends.)

Long time   after   the Maha  Bharatha war  ,

Arjuna    had a lingering     doubt  in his mind,

And when he next met  Lord  Krishna, he asked,

“Why Gita to me and not to Bhishma or Dharma or Bheema?”

Krishna said “ Bhishma   the great  , chose  ,

To support  evil Duryodhana   in the war,

Though he blessed all saying , you should win?

And  so “knowledge  with him is useless.”

“Your  brther  Dharma  follows  Dharma , no doubt,

But  he takes decisions   without thinking  and acts,

And later  , he repents  , why he  took the decision.

And so “This knowlwdge   will never  come to his help”

“Bhima is endowed with  great  strength of the body,

But he does not have   aany strength   of mindor knowledge,

He is short   tempered  and this has caused him problems,

And so “This knowledge is of no use  to him, as he will not use it”

“You  on the other hand have  intelligence, concentration,

Forethought  , absence  o0f selfishness and a mind  ,

Which thought  of others  instead  of victory  and to follow Gita,

You should be wise  , unselfish , detached and kind person”
