To know what to ask for ..

Certain chain of events happening currently, that remind me of a beautiful story from Mahabharat. 7000 yr old story but so relevant till today. Let me narrate it briefly here, although may not be WHY I do narrate this for a couple more weeks...


When the war was inevitable, both Arjun and Duryodhan went to Krsna for asking their share of help from him.

Duryodhan wanted to ask him for his entire Yadav army, which was powerful and voluminous.

When they arrived, they found Krsna sleeping on his back. They waited for him to get up !!!

Arjun waited near his feet. Duryodhan waited near his head. So, finally when KRsna woke up, he saw Arjun first, and gave him the first right to ask what he wants.

Arjun asked for - "Krsna ONLY On his side" ! Duryodhan was happy, he asked what he wanted. The entire Yadav army.

The rest is legend !!!
