Lessons from MB

What are the most prominent lessons that MB teaches us?

For me, it's the lesson of intention. While the fruits we get in life have their roots in our karma but intention is equally important in determining the results. Not every similar action can be weighed on the same balance.

And that's probably why Krishna asked Drau and Ps to not fight for revenge but for society ki safai.😳

Hence, I find the concept of doing adharma (to some extent) for the establishment of dharma quite intriguing.

Also, Krishna's major seekh that parampara and tradition should be moulded according to situation and era of the society we are living in.

What are your views?

Other lessons:

Never eat kheer served by your enemies 😳😎

Krishna didn't ask drapaudi to not fight for revenge but justice draupadi herself was always wanted for establishing a just system in place.

Pandavas never fought for revenge but a piece of land

This what i learn from both the krishnaas - to humans ability to the right thing.

Never do pratigya

Never be too hathi ( ziddi)

One should control on their wish

Never demand wrong thing

Do not snatch other person rights

Never be too short tempered

Never be too emotional

Itna Putra moh kabhi nahi hona chahiye ki tum andhe ban jao.(we shouldn't be so much obsessed with our children that it makes us blind.)

Forget to add

Apni aankh pur patti kabhi mut bandho woh bhi forever

Do not eye on others property or rights.

Success earned through own hard work is sweeter to success achieved by legacy.

Don't squander away your hard earned success in a minute of impulse/foolishness.

In times of extreme despair, surrender to God and he can guide you.

Ironically, except the Geeta, I don't see anything relatable from the actual war in today's times.

So I take my learnings from the other Parvas.

By MB I meant the whole epic with everything associated with it.

Extremely valid points there!

True! Excessive moh is disastrous. Whether it was Bheeshma's pitra prem or Dhritarashtra's putra prem😳

Excess of anything is bad

Don't leave your land to get involved in foreign politics (Afghanistan waalon ne ab tak nhi seekha)

God can become your personal guide if you completely rely on It

Dharma is not constant and it's definition needs to updated with time
