Dear all,
Just sharing some thoughts. Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa said just as we oil our hands before we cut a jackfruit so that its juice doesn't stick similarly we must armour ourselves with knowledge and detachment to live in this world.The earlier we do this the happier we will be.Arjuna learnt this late and had to face vishada.Dhruva learnt it early after he suffered at a young age at the hands of his stepmother and Prahlada faced tribulations with a smile at a tender age as he had gained knowledge and detachment inside his mother's womb . His teacher was the great devotee of the Lord----Narada
Earlier the better. I remember the difficulty I had learning to drive the car. But my son could learn without any difficulty. With a little bit of practice, however, nothing is impossible.
ReplyDeleteWhy is it that all learnt their lessons only after suffering? Learning and remembering the lessons at the times of crisis is important or all this is null.Arjuna was a great yogi but he forgot all he had learned at that crusial period.
