19/06/2016Once again the episode beautifully highlighted Karma. What Bali got was the result of his Karma. And once you get the result which you don't expect what is he doing. He is questioning Ram. He is telling he will die, but Ram will always have the mark of such unethical killing of a warrior. He challenges Ram telling his karma will come for him.
I loved the way Ram answered him. How can he expect Veer Mrithyu when what he has done is adharma. How can he talk about being a warrior and dharma when he had done adharma. It is your last minutes. Understand the adharma you have done. Repent.
When results are not what you expect then you start talking about dharma. Then you start talking about circumstances, traditions to justify your actions. Just like Bali says we are vanars, our rule is different from yours. But does the dharma varies. No Ram tells irrespective of who you are, your duties are same. And looking inappropriately at your brother's wife is adharma in any culture.
Then Bali says you wont escape this karma. Ram calmly says he knows it and he is willing to accept the result. If you stop doing right karma thinking about result, then you will not do right action.
Look at difference of Bali and Ram. Bali when faced with results is angry, blames and accuses and curses.
Ram he owns the action. He calmly tells why he did what he did. He didn't come to fight him directly as per the rule of Rajdharma he will be the king of Kishkinda which he doesn't want. So he supported Sugreeva as his ally as his commander in chief for winning.
And what I liked the most was Bali's question of veer mrithyu. Why he didn't get that. How will you get veer mrithyu if you do adharma. When adharma is done your fall will be also through adharma not like a fighter.
If you look at MB you can clearly see this. If you look Duri and all the sons of gandhari including Shakuni gets veer mrithyu. They die fighting till the last breath. But look at the deaths of Bhishma, Drona and Karna. What do they get. They don't get veer mrithyu. They are hit on the Achilles heel and killed when they don't have weapons. Reason hypocrisy. The so called proclaimers of dharma, supported adharma for their own selfish reasons blaming situations and circumstances.
So it shows even adharmi gets veer mrithyu. Ravan and Meghand gets it. Because they own what they are doing. If you look at Ravan he doesn't blame circumstances, look at Meghnadh he doesn't blame circumstances. They too own their actions. If they have to fight they will fight.
But one who pretends to be dharmi but ends up doing adharma even death wont be easier for them. It was not for Bali, it was not for Dasrath.
So always be in one boat. Dharma or adharma. Be clear on what your principles is. Own your actions. It will be helpful in long run
