Did Arjuna Not Go to the Abode of God After Leaving His Body?

O Learned and Devoted Servants of God,

[Shri. Kishore Ram asked: Swami, one person in social media wanted to know more about Arjuna being born as a hunter when he presumed that he reached abode of Eternal Lord after the exit of Arjuna's body. Kindly elaborate.]

Swami replied: Arjuna did not believe fully Krishna, the contemporary human incarnation. In the Gita also, he asked Krishna that how could He preached the Sun in the beginning of creation since Krishna was born in his time only. Arjuna could not realize the unimaginable God in Krishna and did not view Krishna as God, but, viewed Him as a human being only. Just like the general public, He was always fascinated to Lord Shiva, the energetic incarnation, for whom he did lot of penance. Had he got full faith in Krishna, there was no need of penance for Lord Shiva. Krishna and Shiva are one and the same unimaginable God internally. For this reason, Krishna advised Arjuna to do penance for Shiva to win the war. Based on this state of psychology, Arjuna was born as a hunter, who worshiped Shiva doing sacrifice of his eyes for God. Later on, Arjuna was born as Swami Vivekananda, who also did not believe Paramahamsa as human incarnation until a miracle was shown as proof. When Swami Vivekananda doubted Paramahamsa as human incarnation silently in his mind, Paramahamsa looked at him saying that He is God. He realized the value of contemporary human incarnation and got final salvation in that birth.
