NLP through stories V A K

Thousands of years ago on a battlefield of Kurushethra in India, Arjuna, the young warrior
prince of the Pandavas, is leading his army in a great war against Kauravas, who have unjustly
usurped his kingdom.
As the forces gather on the eve of the ultimate battle, he rides out with his charioteer, the god
Krishna, to survey the enemy.
There in the middle of the battlefield he sees that the Kauravas army arrayed against him
includes his own relatives, teachers, friends, and loved ones.
Suddenly overcome with self-doubt and confusion, he calls out to Krishna to stop his chariot,
saying he is unable to fight.
Krishna does all his best to convince Arjuna to fight, the result of which is the song celestial
called Srimad Bagavad Gita , in 18 chapters, 700 stanza ,
Arjuna says, Krishna ! Whatever you say I understand; yet my heart is not convinced; my mind
does not get the strength
Sri Krishna then takes his VISWAROOPA -turns himself into a vision of magnificence and
power beyond imagining. Seeing this magnificence Arjuna gets convinced and agrees to fight.
The learning from this event is that Arjuna gets his dilemma after 'seeing' the army of enemies;
equally Arjuna gets convinced after seeing the magnificence & power of Sri Krishna;
even after 'hearing' Sri krishna's wise suggestion Arjuna gets 'feeling' only after seeing.
