Attachment : Let Go off

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 .
