Guest guest Posted October 21, 2007 Report Share Posted October 21, 2007 " The Puranas affirm Paropakaram Punyaya Papaya Parapeedanam (helping others is meritorious, and hurting others is a sin). So, help ever, hurt never. This is the essence of the eighteen Puranas. The Kauravas always indulged in hunting the Pandavas. Consequently, not even one out of a hundred brothers survived the Kurukshetra war. Lord Krishna foretold this before the commencement of the war. He told Dharmaraja, "Do not give scope to worry. Follow your Dharma and do your duty sincerely. You will certainly emerge victorious." He infused courage and confidence in Arjuna, saying,"Arise Dhananjaya! None can escape the destiny. Justice will prevail and selfishness will perish. This has been the case in every Yuga . You will see for yourself, king Dhritarshtra, father of a hundred sons, not left with at least one son to perform his last rites. The Kauravas ruined themselves because they neglected God and respond their faith in the world. I do not advise you to forsake the world, but do not get yourself totally immersed in worldly life. Have faith in God. Respect your parents and make them happy. The Vedas say, Matrudevo Bhava Pitrudevo Bhava (revere the father and mother as God). Do not hurt their feelings. Perform all your activities as offering to God. Then you will certainly emerge victorious in all your endeavours. - From Bhagawan's Divine Discourse in January'2000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
