Mahabharata - a epic

...contd....

This is how this story has to be understood and remembered!

With this understanding, we would be inspired to walk on the path of Dharma and not take short-cuts or wrong approaches to fulfill our desires or passions.

But, instead if we see this story in a wrong way and ask 'Pandavas suffered so much because  of being good and Kauravas enjoyed inspite of being bad', then we need to question our defination of suffering and abundance.  We also need to look within honestly - because this question shows that we have decided to walk the path of adharma and are finding excuses and examples of great people and from their lives to quote and prove that we are right in our wrong!

"Every thought decides our future " not just immediate but janmas to come....I've already explained this so many times.  Under no circumstance, character can be compromised in exchange for worldly goodies.  Because these luxuries come with a expiry date - be it power, money, assets etc - but character is the seed from which our all future janmas come out!

If you are the one who doesn't believe in after-lives, then to enjoy heaven, we need to do good deeds only, as bad deeds will push us into hell.
