Overview

Conflict is inner war. Conflict is a product of living in time dimension. We can find a solution if we live with it but not through escaping from it. In observation of conflict in timeless dimension about the nature of conflict which is a product of time, there is the solution to conflict. Ending of conflict is the ending of sorrow. In the ending of conflict there is the ending of "me" and so there is the ending of sorrow. So first of all we must see the necessity of ending of conflict both inwardly and outwardly. If we identify the disease then we can find a cure to it. So far Arjuna enjoyed the pleasure of being somebody in the fighting, he enjoyed the pleasure of being famous, he conformed to social norms in which there is pleasure, now at this juncture of great war pleasure out of all these may be thwarted and so for the first time in life he is aware of inner conflict and he wants to solve that conflict by not participating in the war. Non-action is not inaction. We have to understand the nature of conflict, not avoiding conflict by indulging in drugs, sex, alcohol, clubs, social and religious activities etc. Understanding conflict is possible only through self-inquiry in awareness. All others are tricks to avoid it. If there is conflict it distorts mind and decisions consciously or unconsciously. Conflict is awareness of blockage of pleasure, pain, frustration, pursuit of pleasure, pursuit for recognition etc. Until and unless we understand what it means to relate with the other we do not differentiate between "action" and "activity".
