*As I mentioned already, we are in the physical level, we are in a psychic level, we are in a rational level, and we are in that level where we are ultimately inseparable from the total atmosphere of the universe. 

#So where are we located, and what is our chariot? 

##Our chariot is all these environments in which we are involved. It is not for nothing that we are told again and again that the Bhagavadgita is a gospel for all life. It is not only for the caveman, the recluse, the solitary yogin – nothing of the kind, because it is a teaching, an instruction, which has direct concern with a solution of a conflict which one encounters in the position in which one is placed in the locality of one’s existence, where a harmony has to be established. Harmony is the coming together of Krishna and Arjuna. 

### Finding your Krishna is the harmony of your life, and if you cannot find him, you are loathly placed. You shall be crying forlorn in the battlefield, and you shall have no succour.

#Sri Krishna is a cosmical representation to be understood as revealed in every level, every degree of reality, and inasmuch as we are involved in every degree of reality, we are Arjunas in all these degrees, in all these levels, and there should be a Krishna also in all these levels. 

## Therefore, we shall find our beloved divine friend everywhere if only we are to seek him. But it is important for us to know what type of Krishna we require because the type of Krishna that we need at a particular moment will depend upon what type of Arjuna we are. 

### This again depends upon the kind of life that we are living, our location, and the type of life in which we are involved.

3.

#Every vocation in life can be considered as a fit vehicle for the seatedness of Krishna and Arjuna. 

##There is no unholy location of life because every location is one degree of the manifestation of this coming together of the universal and the particular, Krishna and Arjuna. 

###We find ourselves in one level or the other at any given moment of time, though essentially we are in all the levels at the same time. Our personality ranges from the earth to the heavens at one stroke. 

####We are ourselves a little bit of the Virat Swarupa, but this inner significance and glory of our own selves, our own being, is not visible to the surface of our understanding inasmuch as our conscious life is only a partially projected piece of the larger reservoir of the unmanifested levels of our inner personality. 

#####So whatever be the level in which we find ourselves consciously, there we have to strike a harmony, which means to say that we should have no opposition from outside whatever be our occupation, whatever be our walk of life, whatever be our profession, and whatever be the job that we have chosen for our existence in this world.

To be continued ....
