Karna asks Lord Krishna
In Mahabharat, Karna asks Lord Krishna - "My mother left
me the moment I was born. Is it my fault I was born an illegitimate child?
I did not get the education from Dhronacharya
because I was considered not a Kshatriya.
Parsuraam taught me but then gave me the curse
to forget everything when he came to know I was Son of Kunthi belong to
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
Kunthi 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???"
**Lord 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 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 to face.
LIFE IS NOT FAIR & EASY ON ANYBODY!!!
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 Fall, what is important is how you REACTED at that
time.
Life's unfairness does not give you license to
walk the wrong path...
Always remember, Life may be tough at few
points, but DESTINY is not created by the SHOES we wear but by the STEPS we
take...
So detailed
