Everything contained in Bhagavad Gita was allegorical including character of Lord Krishna. In war of Mahabharata Lord Krishna is always depicted as sarthi (charioteer) of the chariot (human body) belonging to Arjuna.
In Bhagavad Gita Lord Krishna explicitly details the ongoing war between righteous and lawless forces of nature that existed in human body in form of positive and negative thoughts. Every second human beings invoked thousands of both positive and negative thoughts.
The war of Mahabharata was all about churning of these thoughts… called Samudra manthan in Hinduism. Sometimes positive thoughts hold sway and at other moments the negative forces. Indulging in spirituality, yoga meditation… human beings eradicate flow of negative thoughts to our brain in totality.
In the Samudra manthan (churning of thoughts) that ensues… both Amrita (elixir of life) and Vish (poison) gets produced. A seeker uses Amrita (nectar) for activating chakras, full awakening of kundalini shakti and the Vish (poison) is retained in the body, primarily in the neck. The blue throat of Lord Shiva or Lord Krishna is reminiscent of this fact of life. Both Lord Krishna and Lord Shiva are depicted in dark blue bodies… the reason being some Vish (poison) from the neck leaks to the body.
Every enlightened one possesses this capability of distinguishing Vish (poison) from Amrita (nectar).
The whole human life was a direct war between positive and negative forces of nature. By controlling our thoughts, by invoking positive thoughts most of time… a true seeker can reach stage of enlightenment in this very life. We just could not indulge in scriptures literally. Through path of contemplation we had to reach the hidden underlying meaning.
