SPLENDID EXAMPLES GIVEN BY VIDURA

Vidura talks about the Birdcatcher and The honeycomb 

We all recognize wise and decent Vidura who was half brother to King Dhritarashtra and his adviser. He had constantly been in his Dharma. Besides the one Kaurava named Vikarna out of hundreds, Vidura had also raised his voice against the humiliation of Draupadi within the king's court. He had frequently tried to convince Duryodhana and Dhritarashtra not to behave unrighteously towards the Pandavas seeing that Pandavas had been their family too. In this post, I will provide an explanation for brief the notable tales told via wise Vidura to Kauravas with an aim to make concord with Pandavas. These aren't certainly stories that we will simply read and overlook, we need to apprehend the morals. Nowadays disputes among brothers are common in all families. Operating together as a group in a circle of relatives builds trust amongst all the individuals and helps us face the ups and downs together. Duryodhana not only let the Pandavas go through in forest by tricking them into gambling but additionally he seized the Indraprastha which belonged solely to the Pandavas. There was sincerely no purpose for Kauravas to do this. let us know those stories in this post.

Once a bird catcher spreaded net on one ground to capture birds. Two birds who continually used to fly and roam together, fell into that trap however flew away in conjunction with that net. Seeing those two birds flying away in the direction of the sky didn't distress that birdcatcher at all. He followed those birds in their path. that time a sage who was staying within the woodland, after finishing his routine night prayers was sitting idle in his hermitage observed that birdcatcher who was following those two birds. The sage asked him, why he was running after those birds on the ground despite the fact that those birds were flying in the sky.

That birdcatcher replied, "Oh sage! these two birds are as of now being together for which they may be flying away with my net. I can catch them as quickly as they begin quarreling. " After a while both the fool birds started out fighting with each other and as a result fell down on the earth. Seeing in such a situation, the bird catcher immediately captured them.

Vidura stated, "those family members who quarrel with each other on wealth, they, therefore, fall into enemy's entice just like these birds. Relatives devour food and live together, be polite to one another and ask wellbeing of each other. They have to by no means go for partition. Individuals who constantly respect and serve their seniors emerge as triumphant. Enemies never even consider setting a trap for them. However, those who regardless of being rich enough usually crave more money, they lose all their wealth to their enemies. Burning woods after separating from one another, not burn like before, only releases smoke. Own family individuals only after bonding with each other come to be extra powerful. "

Inside the second tale, Vidura shared his personal experience at the time he had witnessed on Gandhamadhana mountain. Vidura went there together with few saintly Brahmins and Bhil(a tribe of hill people). Those Brahmins preferred to speak about Vidya and medicinal sadhana through Mantra Tantra. That mountain was surrounded by many medicinal trees. They located one honeycomb in an inaccessible cave-in that mountain which was not constructed by honey bees. It seemed like a golden-colored pitcher. large toxic snakes were guarding that honey there. Deity Kubera was fond of that honey. Those medication seeker Brahmins referred to that honey if consumed by way of any human beings would make him immortal, additionally, it'd provide eyesight to blinds and youth to old human beings. After listening to the extraordinary advantages of that honey, those Bhil humans craved for it and wanted to own it. Consequently, they entered that cave and were killed by those poisonous snakes.

Vidura then referred to Dhritarashtra, "similarly your son Duryodhana desires to own all the kingdoms on the earth to himself. Out of greediness, he only sees the honey now not its risky outcomes. Duryodhana talks about fighting Arjuna in the war at the same time no longer have strength much like him. furthermore a top-notch warrior like Arjuna who had already conquered the entire earth all by himself and scared off the excellent Kaurava warriors like Bhishma and Drona during Virata Yudh still awaits an alliance between Pandavas and Kauravas and consequently can forgive the Kauravas." Likewise, Vidura recommended Dhritarashtra to make it up to the Pandavas.
