Sanjaya tries to divert the mind of religious Yudhishthira from the war and Lord Krishna and Yudhishthira gives him the precise reply
'Mahabharata war was not a way to solve everything.' But was it justified for the Pandavas to tolerate the miseries for such a long time, sacrifice what they absolutely deserved particularly their very own kingdom Indraprastha, forget about the humiliation of Draupadi and themselves in front of everyone, losing complete wealth and materials which were once earned through Pandavas' efforts to a mastermind Gambler through his tricks and letting all the Kauravas take away the whole Kingdom of Pandavas even after staying in the forest for twelve years and staying disguised for another year as per Kauravas's conditions? Here in my publish I will simply elaborate Lord Krishna's discussion with Sanjaya which will let you apprehend why it was essential to have this war.
Saddened Dhritarashtra; the king of Hastinapura decided to send his charioteer Sanjaya as his messenger to the Pandavas for retaining harmony. He grieved over his silly son Duryodhana for believing in conquering the Pandavas in the war easily. Dhritarashtra was conscious of the Pandavas' strength and ability. He knew Lord Krishna and other kings who supported Pandavas could defeat Kauravas evenly. Hence he sent Sanjaya to ask the Pandavas not to go for the war and he moreover recommended Sanjaya to mention his message especially to Yudhishthira as Yudhishthira used to be a pious king who practiced celibacy and penance. Dhritarashtra feared the rage of Yudhishthira mostly. He also asked Sanjaya to let Krishna be aware of Dhritarashtra's wish baring war. Dhritarashtra knew Yudhishthira could in no way deny Lord Krishna.
Sanjaya defined to Yudhishthira that, "King Dhritarashtra do no longer favor war. He is conscious of Your tender-hearted and modesty nature, you all can never take a choice of war, can by no means kill your very own Kaurava brothers and gurus. After killing your own relatives you additionally will no longer be praised by the way of others. Moreover you will never harm your own people and act like a lowborn."
Yudhishthira after hearing such, assured Sanjaya not to be terrified of war. He confirmed to him that he would by no means opt for war. He said, "I solely desire to get back our personal kingdom Indraprastha. King Dhritarashtra wish the Pandavas to be empathetic towards his sons however he himself have in no way done the same to us. He even overlooked Vidura's sensible statements related to Kauravas's welfare. I agree to step back from the war on the condition that King Dhritarashtra will give Indraprastha back to us since Kauravas had taken the Kingdom of Pandavas by means of cheating."
Sanjaya then tried to change Yudhishthira's thinking from war via announcing to him that, "despite having perishable life, you all can earn a reputation with the aid of ignoring the war. Even If Kauravas determined for not giving Indraprastha back to you all without war, it would have been remarkable for you to survive upon begging rather than going for a war. You could have forcefully taken back your kingdom throughout the gambling only, there was no cause for you to stay in woodland for twelve years(and one year in incognito) and then go for a war later. It will be sinful act for you to opt for a war."
Yudhishthira stated to him that, "I by no means wish to take something biasedly. As per sastra we have to act as per our own Varna. Being Kshatriyas or warriorhood, we comply with our ancestors' way and will take our kingdom via war only." Then he sought the advice of Lord Krishna for the reason that he used to be the 'Lord Narayana' himself.
Lord Krishna cited to Sanjaya that, "in order to keep away from the destruction I additionally wish for peace between Kauravas and Pandavas. But how can it be viable when Dhritarashtra himself prefer to keep the kingdom of Pandavas. Pandavas can no way commit a sin by means of going to war rather than living on alms. Even in sastras, it is noted that an individual can get salvation through their karma by way of staying in Grihastashram or by Occupied with a home. Yudhishthira is an expert in sastras. Being a Kshatriya it is our principle to pick fighting preferably than running away from it. Even If we die on the battlefield, our demise would be beautiful. Kauravas have turned out to be greedy to preserve the kingdom of Pandavas all by himself. Even Dhritarashtra himself overlooked Rajyadharma by way of supporting his sons. How can they preserve what Pandavas sincerely deserved! When Kauravas were humiliating Draupadi there in the Rajya sabha how come elder Kauravas like Bhishma ignored it! Except for Vidura, no one raised a voice towards it. How come Dhritarashtra being a king did not stop his own Son Dushasana when he was pulling Draupadi from her hair! How could elders tolerate Karna's harsh statements towards Draupadi! How could Shakuni ask Yudhishthira to put his wife Draupadi as a bet after Yudhishthira had lost all his brothers in the gambling!"
After discussing with Sanjaya, Lord Krishna himself wished to go to Hastinapura for giving Kauravas a chance to make the peace agreement with the Pandavas by way of giving Indraprastha back to them in order to avoid their own extinction. Sanjay after returning back to Hastinapura elaborated the message as well as the glory of Pandavas and Lord Krishna.
