Three Differences in Relations : Sudama-Krishna, Arjuna-Krishna and We- Krishna - A brief note

Krisna did not ask Sudama, "How are you doing? What can I do for you?" He just gave him warmth of a childhood friend and then without asking him, He removed poverty of Sudama.

To Arjuna, He was different. He first criticised Arjun for his cowardice and told him that his thoughts were not befitting to him. Then He coached him and encouraged him to fight. Finally, He reasons with Arjuna. He resolves Arjuna's doubts one by one. And in conclusion, asks Arjuna to do what he may think fit.

To us, He is still different. He says, in whatever form we may worship Him, He shall reinforce our faith in him.

His teachings are around since 5000 years. Generations have questioned, doubted His words, but then chosen to believe in him, and they passed on their message to next generations.

And in this way, He is with us today through his teachings.

To us also His message is, "Do not tell about my message to those who do not respect Me. They will only weaken your trust in Me. What I have said to you is a way of life. It is for you to decide. You are free to do what you think fit."

The relations between Him and us are a little different. The relationship is based on knowledge, faith and on how we walk on path suggested by Him. The path itself rewards its followers.
