When things go wrong, do you try to solve them with calm or strength? Lord Krishna showed us how to use both. One of the finest examples of the cleverness of Krishna comes from the Mahabharata, when peace seemed impossible.
After years of injustice, the Pandavas finally asked Duryodhana for just five villages. But he arrogantly refused—even to give land the size of a needle’s tip! Instead of jumping into war, Krishna chose the path of peace. He went to the Kaurava court as a messenger, hoping to avoid bloodshed.
But don’t be fooled—Krishna’s presence was no ordinary visit.
With a calm voice and glowing eyes, he reminded the court of dharma. He explained the dangers of pride and the cost of war. Some kings nodded in agreement. But Duryodhana mocked Krishna and even tried to capture him! That’s when Krishna revealed his divine form—showing the entire universe within himself. Light flooded the court. Everyone froze in awe.
Even the proudest hearts trembled.
This moment captured the true cleverness of Krishna—his ability to stay calm, speak wisely, and strike powerfully when needed. He gave peace a chance, but was always ready to stand for truth.
In today’s world, we often rush to react. But Krishna teaches us that patience, strategy, and inner strength matter more than loud action. His story reminds you: Stand firm in truth, but walk gently when you can.
Did you know?Many believe that when Krishna showed his Vishwaroopa (cosmic form), even the sky turned golden, and the earth trembled softly.
Let his wisdom guide your decisions—choose peace, but never fear to protect what’s right.
