BEST STORY IN MAHABHARAT ??
??
??
Karna asks Krishna – “My mother left me the moment I was born.
Is it my fault I was born an illegitimate child?
I did not get education from Dhronacharya because I was considered a non Kshatriya.
Parshuram taught me but then gave me the curse to forget everything since I was a kshatriya.
A cow was accidentally hit by my arrow & its owner cursed me for no fault of mine.
I was disgraced in Draupadi’s swayamvar.
Even Kunti finally told me the truth only to save her other sons.
Whatever I received was through Dhuryodhana’s charity. So how am I wrong in taking his side?”
Krishna replies,
“Karna, I was born in a jail.
Death was waiting for me even before my birth.
The night I was born I was separated from my birth parents.
From childhood you grew up hearing the noise of swords, chariots, horses, bow and arrows.
I got only cow herd’s shed, dung and multiple attempts on my life even before I could walk!
No army, no education.
I could hear people saying I am the reason for all their problems.
When all of you were being appreciated for your valour by your teachers, I had not even received any education.
I joined gurukula of Rishi Sandipani only at the age of 16!
You are married to a girl of your choice.
I didn’t get the girl I loved & rather ended up marrying those who wanted me or the ones I rescued from demons.
I had to move my whole community from the banks of Yamuna to far off Sea shore, to save them from Jarasandh. I was called a coward for running away.
If Dhuryodhana wins the war you will get lot of credit.
What do I get if Dharmaraja wins the war? Only the blame for the war and all related problems.
Remember one thing Karna….
Everybody has challenges in life.
*LIFE IS NOT FAIR ON ANYBODY..*
Dhuryodhan also has a lot of unfairness in life and so has Yudhishthir.
But what is Right (Dharma) is known to your Mind (Conscience)….
No matter how much unfairness we got , how many times we were disgraced , how many times we were denied what was due to us , what is important is how you REACTED at that time…
Stop whining Karna.
Life’s unfairness does not give you license to walk the wrong path of *अधर्म.*
