A motivational gem for me and my fellow fapstronauts!

From darkness, to light.

  1. Firstly, I would like to say sorry for putting this post here. It's not a success story, but it will definitely help in success, especially for us. Below is the post I saw a few days back on a website.

    Life is not fair on anybody – conversation between God Krishna and Karna.

    In Mahabharat (sacred book in Hindu mythology), 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 a non-Kshatriya.

    Parshu-Raam taught me but then gave me the curse to forget everything since I was a 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 (marriage).

    Even Kunti 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.

    LIFE IS NOT FAIR ON ANYBODY!!!

    Duryodhana also has a lot of unfairness in life and so has Yudhhishthir.

    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 were denied what was due to us, what is important is how you REACTED at that time.

    Stop whining Karna. Life’s unfairness does not give you license to walk the wrong path.

    Always remember, Life may be tough at a point, but DESTINY is not created by the SHOES we wear but by the STEPS we take.

    The illuminating truths !!!!!! Now I realize the greatness of SRI KRISHNA. When he shows his human side, it increases my belief that he was the GOD indeed. How can one do that, his abilities as a human developed by his inner character developed way before the creation itself !om!om!om. And not withered by the maya. It's an illumination even to hear about the divinish stories of him and his character.
