Whether to choose heartful or powerful

You have often faced the dilemma of choosing between a heartfelt person (embodying intellect, compassion, creativity, and maturity) and a powerful one (possessing money, power, personality, and social status). Arjuna faced this very choice during the preparations for the war of Mahabharata.

When given the option, Duryodhana chose the Narayani Sena, the army of well-equipped warriors trained under Lord Krishna’s leadership, valuing their worldly power. Arjuna, on the other hand, chose the unarmed Lord Krishna, valuing his divine wisdom and guidance.

The heart of a person who seeks God’s strength is truly strong because divine strength is real. Conversely, the heart of a person who seeks worldly power is weak because worldly strength is ultimately an illusion.

So, whom will you choose?
