Life is Not Fair on Anybody!!!


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 an 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 Duryodhana'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 valor by your teachers, I had not even received any education.

I joined the 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 Seashore, to save them from Jarasandh. I was called a coward for running away.

If Duryodhana wins the war you will get a 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..*

Duryodhana 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 a license to walk the wrong path…

Always remember, Life may be tough at a point, but DESTINY is not created by the SHOES we wear but by the STEPS we take… 🙂 🙂

10 Life Lessons By Lord Hanuman

Hanuman – the superhero, has the largest fan following all across the world, larger than any other superhero. Long before Superman and Batman came to save the world, Hanuman had already done his part and left a mark. The monkey god was born to King Kesari and Anjana. Since childhood, he was strong, fearless, patient, graceful, compassionate, humble and devoted. Did you know that Hanuman was blessed ‘Mrityunjay’ by Lord Shiva? Thus, while Lord Rama and Lord Krishna had to renounce and leave the world, Hanuman is immortal. This gives Him a special place amongst the Gods and Hindu culture. Hanuman was a great leader. His commendable leadership skills helped him in not only leading but also inspiring the army of monkeys to fight against the mighty Ravana successfully. Our favorite Hanuman sought knowledge from the Sun, his role model was Lord Rama and knew how to motivate his people and keep them going. He teaches us these super interesting life and leadership lesso...

|| Lord Krishna & Today's Arjuna ||

A rare conversation between  Krishna  & Today's  Arjuna . It's one of the best conversations I have come across. 1. Arjuna :- I can’t find free time. Life has become hectic and complex. Krishna :- Activity gets you busy. But productivity gets you free. 2. Arjuna :- Why has life become complicated now? Krishna :- Stop analyzing life... It makes it complicated. Just live it. 3.   Arjuna :- Why are we then constantly unhappy? Krishna :- Worrying has become your habit. That’s why you are not happy. 4. Arjuna :- Why do good people always suffer? Krishna :- Diamond cannot be polished without friction. Gold cannot be purified without fire. Good people go through trials, but don’t suffer. With that experience, their life becomes better, not bitter. 5. Arjuna :- You mean to say such experience is useful? Krishna :- Yes. In every term, Experience is a hard teacher. It gives the test first and the lessons later. 6. Arjuna :- Because...

Life Lessons - Learnt From The Characters Of The Mahabharata

Here is a list of ten characters and what we can learn from what was once remembered by Vyasa and what was once heard by Arjuna. 1. Krishna taught us that one must perform his duty. Krishna opens his mouth and shows the entire cosmos to Arjuna. Krishna tells Arjuna that Dharma is both rock-like (Dhar) and pliable like wax (Flowing). Dharma is not your institutional religion. It is your natural and binding duty. It is of ethical nature and you are born with it. A king’s dharma is to perform his kingly duties. Dharma holds the cosmos together. Krishna teaches us how to be dutiful in challenging times. 2. From Duryodhana, we learned that ' pride comes before the fall .' Duryodhana teaches us how blind swa-dharma (desires for your own Self) can lead you to "Adharma." Duryodhana's greed is wrong, his methods are wrong. He teaches us that blind pride and wrong actions have consequences and one must be careful and thoughtful about their actions and thoughts....
