Understanding Right From Wrong.

A Conversation Between Angaraj Karna And Sri Krishna defines why one must choose a right path in the journey of life. (Karna is actually an eldest son of Kunti, mother of Pandavas, the fact which Karna comes to know just before the war.)

Karna - “My mother left me the moment I was born. Is it my fault I was born an illegitimate child?
I did not get education from Dronacharya because I was considered a non Kshatriya.
ParshuRam agreed to teach me war skills but then gave me the curse when he realized that I was kshatriya. The curse of forgetting the skills when I needed most.
Is it my fault?

A cow was accidentally hit by my arrow and its owner cursed me for no fault of mine.

I was disgraced in Draupadi's swayamvar without any fault of mine.

Even my own mother, Kunti, told me the truth, now when the war is about to begin, only to save her other sons.

Yes.... It was Duryodhana who came to my rescue. Whatever I'm today and whatever I received in life was because of Duryodhana.

So how am I wrong in taking his side?"

Krishna replied:

"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 was 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 and was illiterate.

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 and 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.

What is more, I was called a coward for running away.

See.... If Duryodhana wins the war you will get lot of accolades,

What do I get if Dharmaraja wins the war?

Only the big blame for starting the war and all the related problems.

Remember one thing Karna....

Everybody has challenges in life.

LIFE IS NOT FAIR TO ANYBODY.

Life has been unfair to Duryodhan also and so also to Yudhishthir.

But what is Dharma is known to your Atma.

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.

So, stop whining, Karna. Life's unfairness does not give you license to walk the wrong path of iniquity​. So come my beloved, choose the right path and be blessed".
