Mahabharata - a epic


...contd...

Good deeds done by Asuras also are considered and they are benefitted accordingly.

At the same time, wrong deed (like Yudhishtra telling half truth!) done for a good cause also doesn't become good.  Wrong is wrong - done by anyone whether that person gets caught or not by others.  Wrong is wrong - even though logically argued by the doer and proved to be right under such of circumstances....

Hell and heaven are not to be taken as some place to go and suffer/enjoy after death.  The moment one commits a wrong, the guilt, fear, insecurity, restlessness that he suffers, pain and envy that he experiences - all these mean one is in hell - it is living hell.  How many times I have heard people say "I've everything Guruji, no dearth of money, excellent life and health and everything - yet no peace and happiness."  This just means that, that person is experiencing hell for the sins he has committed.

And I've seen people not well most of the time, with lots of responsibilities and few or none to support them and their life is one long lonely struggle.  Yet they are so happy, sharing, caring for others and spreading smiles all around them.  Many times, these are the people whom  people envy a lot and yet they hardly complain.  Yet they are content and peaceful 'inspite of circumstances' not because of circumstances.

Being right, they have experienced heaven in their very heart!
