Self Realization

Remember that The Mahabharatha is a story of every living entity.

Imagine a mother who has twin children. The mother loves both equally and prays for both of them.

One day the mother takes the children to the market. Because she has to do some shopping, she can not carry the kids and so she tells them to keep holding her finger lest they get lost. Each child is holding the index finger of her two hands.

Now the mother is busy selecting items for shopping. One child is still holding her finger, but the other one gets distracted by the happenings around and leaves her finger. This child is so attracted to the colorful toys that are being hawked in the street that he runs after the hawker in a trance.

After some time the mother realizes that one child is missing. She panics. And the first thing she does is to hold the other child close to her breast, while crying for help.

Every one runs helter skelter and all arrangements are made to find the lost child. But the child has vanished into the crowded market.

Now while both the children are in the same market, seeing all that is going around, one is safe in the arms of his mother and the other is on his own.

Both, the Mother and the lost child are distressed. Both are searching for each other. But this Maya Lok looks so attractive to the lost child that it keeps getting distracted and losing its way. As long as they do not find each other the ordeal will not be over for both of them.  

Karna and Arjuna are the two children and God is the mother.
