Part 36
Maan should be happy but e was not, yes he was excited as he from the day she regained consciousness wanted to marry her, but it was for the first time in his life that he was taking such a big decision without her knowledge.
She was always there in big or small, and now when it is the decision related o their lives she is unknown, he hated him self to the cores for this.
He was very restless, he took out some papers to read to distract himself, when he got hold a copy of Geeta she gave him as a first parting gift, he never read the poetic epic but knew it by heart as she knows each and every word written in it, he flipped the pages and some verses caught his attention;
Ch 2
verse 30
dehi nityam avadhyo 'yam dehe sarvasya bharata
tasmat sarvani bhutani na tvam socitum arhasi
O Bharata! The souls in our body is not liable to become spoiled or damaged through time and wear. Therefore, you need not grieve, for any human individual.
Verse 38
sukha-duhkhe same kritva labhalabhau jayajayau
tato yuddhaya yujyasva naivam papam avapsyasi
Fight for the sake of fighting, treating victory and defeat, pleasure and distress, loss or gain alike. By so doing you will not incur any sin.
Verse 39
esa te 'bhihita sankhye buddhir yoge tv imam shrinu
buddhya yukto yaya partha karma-bandham prahasyasi
O Arjuna! I have presented the attitude of mind through the knowledge of virtues independent of fact or experience. Now you hear from me according to the Discipline of Action. O son of Pritha! Acting with the state of mind, you will be able to completely shake off the shackles of Actions.
Verse 40
nehabhikrama-naso 'sti pratyavayo na vidyate
sv-alpam apy asya dharmasya trayate mahato bhayat
In this path , there is no loss of effort and untoward outcome. A little furtherance on this discipline protects one danger of birth and death.
Verse 49
durena hy avaram karma buddhi-yogad dhananjaya
buddhau saranam anviccha kripanah phala-hetavah
O Dhananjaya! Actions done with calm temperament are far above than the actions that are done for selfish motives. Remain established in the evenness of mind for those who desire for the fruits of their work are cheapskates.
Complete meaning
The use of the word sankhya determines the proper understanding. Sankhyam is of the eternal soul category which is apprehensible through the understanding by the rational faculty of the mind. The immortal soul as an eternal principle must be understood. That understanding by which to comprehend it has already been given to Arjuna so he would know it in the previous verses in this chapter being verse 12 never at all was that I and verse 30 therefore thou has no cause to grieve for any creature. As for the use of the word yoga meaning karma yoga which is the science of the individual consciousness attaining communion with the Ultimate Consciousness through actions without desiring fruitive results. It is to be understood that the spiritual intelligence acquired by following this yoga of actions when based on sankhyam or knowledge of the soul is the path which leads to salvation. This precise understanding is what is declared further in this chapter in verse 49; but in the next verse learn just what spiritual knowledge is to be gained by this karma yoga. Imbibing the wisdom from it, cut asunder the bonds of karmic reactions from all actions. The virtue of actions performed in this way will subsequently be given in verse 40.
He read and reread the verses and related them to his life rather their life what he was doing he was loosing hope, loosing hope in his love, no he will not do any such thing Arjun may be a learned person but it is he who knows his Geet inside out .
He got what he was seeking
He will not do any thing on an impulse he will only marry her when she herself will agree to it, he will wait for her consent however long he might have to wait
He will slowly convince her and first bring his old super confident Geet back
He called Gayatri and talked to her about postponing the marriage,
Gayatri picked up the phone
G: hello
M: hello, Maa Maan here
G: hello, how are you?
M: Fine, I wanted to tell you something
G: yes
M: first is Geet there?
G: no
M: Maa, I want to postpone the marriage
G: now, is every thing ok
M: yes
G: then
M: Maa first I want to talk to her
G: but, she will agree, and Beta ji all preparations are done, even
the card designs are finalised
M: but, they are notyet printed
G: will Handa's not mind the delay
M: yes I know
Gayatri: but
M: Please Maa try to understand, she is at present in a very
fragile condition and I should not have made the decision in haste
G: but some day or the other you both will
M: yes Maa, but only when she says yes
G: but almost every thing is done, and moreiver what will we tell tha Handa's
M: I will talk to Darjee,
G: what is the need for the delay
M: Arjun says that the way we are doing things with out her
knowledge will shatter her already wounded confidence (he lied)
G: ok do what ever is good for her, BTW when are you coming
M: soon
today was her last exam, Maan decided to go to Lucknow and give her a surprise, he went to the college and waited for full 3 hrs for the exam to finish, finally the bell rang, all students came out chatting, but Geet was nowhere to be seen, Naveen
saw him
N: hello, Maan sir
M: hello
N: looking for her
M: yep
N: she's still in
M: will wait
N: I shuld be leaving
she started winding up her things, she felt that some one was waiting for her outside,
she has been succesful in shutting him by her own choice and now her heart pains she is terribly missing him, the way he used to tell her where she was wrong,
the times when he woke althrough the nights just because she had to make a sheet and he could not sleep while she was awake, she smiled and today she was feeling that he was here somewhere around.
She sighed and picked her bag and came out of the examination room, she was ao lost in her thoughts that she did notrealise that everyone had left, today being the last exam all must have rushed to the canteen to celebrate.
she was about to descend the steps, some one pulled her, she instantly knew who he was.
She turned and their eyes met,
he took off her specs and put them in his pocket,
cupped her face and closed the distance between their lips,
she was glued to her place,
initially she did not react what as his riot extended she gave in with equal hunger.
some one coughed ans they came out of their trance, "this is college and such presentations are not allowed here, you can use theterrace though"
He liked the idea and snatched her hand taking her to the terrace, she surrendered ti his wish
Once they were on the terrace he hugged her "Oh! I missed you"
