We all get attached to people and
things around us. Its so difficult to let things go .
One day Arjuna and Krishna were
taking a walk. All through their way Arjuna kept pestering Krishna to answer a
question., “Please tell me why is Karna considered the supreme donor, and not
me?”
To prove , Krishna snapped his
fingers and turned 2 mountains beside which they were walking, to gold. And He
said, “Now it’s your responsibility to distribute all this gold to the
villagers without wasting even a small piece.” Arjuna summoned all the
villagers to gather near the mountains and began distributing the gold with
head held high as the villagers sang his praise. The distribution went on for 2
days and 2 nights, however the gold mountain didn’t seem to diminish. On the
third day most of the villagers came back and stood in line for more gold.
Arjuna was, by then, totally exhausted. He surrendered to Krishna saying that
he could go no further. At that moment Krishna summoned Karna and gave him the
same instruction. Karna called upon 2 villagers and said “Do you see those two
mountains laden with gold? They’re yours. Do as you please.” So saying, he
walked away leaving Arjuna speechless. Krishna said, “Do you see the difference
Arjuna? “Since you yourself were attached to the gold, you regretfully donated
only as much as you thought they deserved; whereas Karna held no such
reservations nor did he expect to be praised. He simply gave it away without
much ado.”
Difficult , but not impossible to achieve .
Once you lose your mother , there are few things which are gone for ever . Being away from home for a long time , the only moment to meet her was when I used to visit my home town , or she traveling to my place .
