v1.14· Krishna

An entire army just made maximum noise. Krishna and Arjun picked up two Shankhas. Guess who won.

From a single white-horse chariot, Madhav and Arjun raised their divine Shankhas. Two voices answered a whole army — and the whole field went quiet.

“Two Shankhas answered an entire army. Divinity doesn't need volume — it needs truth.”

v1.19· Dhritarashtra

The Kauravs used every instrument they had. The Pandavs used names. Who won the sound?

That sound — reverberating through sky and earth — shattered the hearts of Dhritarashtra's sons. The Kauravs made noise. The Pandavs broke hearts.

“Noise fills the air. Conviction fills the heart. Only one of them breaks the other.”

v2.16· Krishna

The real never dies. The fake never existed.

The unreal has no existence. The real never ceases to exist. The truth of both has been seen by the seers of reality.

“Stop mourning what was never real. Start seeing what never ended.”

— Krishna
