ಮಹಾಭಾರತದ ಸಾರ

 August 12, 2025

ಐದು ಲಕ್ಷ ಶ್ಲೋಕಗಳನ್ನು ಒಳಗೊಂಡಿರುವ ಮಹಾಭಾರತದ ಸಾರವನ್ನು ಕೇವಲ ಒಂಬತ್ತು ಸಾಲುಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಅರ್ಥಮಾಡಿಕೊಳ್ಳಿ.

ನೀವು ಯಾವುದೇ ಧರ್ಮದವರಾಗಿದ್ದರೂ,

ನೀವು ಗಂಡಾಗಿರಲಿ ಅಥವಾ ಹೆಣ್ಣಾಗಿರಲಿ,

ನೀವು ಬಡವರಾಗಿರಲಿ ಅಥವಾ ಶ್ರೀಮಂತರಾಗಿರಲಿ,

ನೀವು ನಿಮ್ಮ ದೇಶದಲ್ಲಿರಲಿ ಅಥವಾ ವಿದೇಶದಲ್ಲಿರಲಿ,

ಸಂಕ್ಷಿಪ್ತವಾಗಿ,

ನೀವು ಮನುಷ್ಯರಾಗಿದ್ದರೆ, ಮಹಾಭಾರತದ ಈ ಕೆಳಗಿನ ಅಮೂಲ್ಯವಾದ "9 ಮುತ್ತುಗಳನ್ನು" ಓದಿ ಅರ್ಥಮಾಡಿಕೊಳ್ಳಿ:

1. ನಿಮ್ಮ ಮಕ್ಕಳ ಅವಿವೇಕದ ಬೇಡಿಕೆಗಳು ಮತ್ತು ಆಸೆಗಳನ್ನು ನೀವು ಸಕಾಲದಲ್ಲಿ ನಿಯಂತ್ರಿಸದಿದ್ದರೆ, ನೀವು ಜೀವನದಲ್ಲಿ ಅಸಹಾಯಕರಾಗುತ್ತೀರಿ... *"ಕೌರವ್"*

2. ನೀವು ಎಷ್ಟೇ ಬಲಿಷ್ಠರಾಗಿದ್ದರೂ, ಅನ್ಯಾಯವನ್ನು ಬೆಂಬಲಿಸಿದರೆ, ನಿಮ್ಮ ಶಕ್ತಿ, ಆಯುಧಗಳು, ಕೌಶಲ್ಯ ಮತ್ತು ಆಶೀರ್ವಾದಗಳು ಎಲ್ಲವೂ ನಿಷ್ಪ್ರಯೋಜಕವಾಗುತ್ತವೆ... *"ಕರ್ಣ"*

3. ನಿಮ್ಮ ಮಕ್ಕಳು ತಮ್ಮ ಜ್ಞಾನವನ್ನು ದುರುಪಯೋಗಪಡಿಸಿಕೊಂಡು ಸಂಪೂರ್ಣ ವಿನಾಶಕ್ಕೆ ಕಾರಣರಾಗುವಷ್ಟು ಮಹತ್ವಾಕಾಂಕ್ಷೆಯುಳ್ಳವರನ್ನಾಗಿ ಮಾಡಬೇಡಿ... *"ಅಶ್ವತ್ಥಾಮ"*

4. ಅಧರ್ಮಿಗಳಿಗೆ ಶರಣಾಗುವಂತೆ ಎಂದಿಗೂ ಭರವಸೆ ನೀಡಬೇಡಿ... *"ಭೀಷ್ಮ ಪಿತಾಮಹ"*

5. ಸಂಪತ್ತು, ಅಧಿಕಾರ, ಅಧಿಕಾರ ಮತ್ತು ತಪ್ಪು ಜನರ ಬೆಂಬಲದ ದುರುಪಯೋಗವು ಅಂತಿಮವಾಗಿ ಸಂಪೂರ್ಣ ವಿನಾಶಕ್ಕೆ ಕಾರಣವಾಗುತ್ತದೆ... *"ದುರ್ಯೋಧನ"*

6. ಅಧಿಕಾರದ ಲಗಾಮನ್ನು ಕುರುಡನಿಗೆ, ಅಂದರೆ ಸ್ವಾರ್ಥ, ಸಂಪತ್ತು, ಹೆಮ್ಮೆ, ಜ್ಞಾನ, ಮೋಹ ಅಥವಾ ಕಾಮದಿಂದ ಕುರುಡನಾಗಿರುವವನಿಗೆ ಎಂದಿಗೂ ಹಸ್ತಾಂತರಿಸಬೇಡಿ, ಏಕೆಂದರೆ ಅದು ವಿನಾಶಕ್ಕೆ ಕಾರಣವಾಗುತ್ತದೆ... *"ಧೃತರಾಷ್ಟ್ರ"*

7. ಜ್ಞಾನವು ಜ್ಞಾನದೊಂದಿಗೆ ಇದ್ದರೆ, ನೀವು ಖಂಡಿತವಾಗಿಯೂ ಗೆಲ್ಲುತ್ತೀರಿ... *"ಅರ್ಜುನ್*

8. ಮೋಸ ಮಾಡುವುದರಿಂದ ಎಲ್ಲಾ ವಿಷಯಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಯಶಸ್ಸು ಸಿಗುವುದಿಲ್ಲ... *"ಶಕುನಿ"*

9. ನೀವು ನೈತಿಕತೆ, ಸದಾಚಾರ ಮತ್ತು ಕರ್ತವ್ಯವನ್ನು ಯಶಸ್ವಿಯಾಗಿ ಎತ್ತಿಹಿಡಿದರೆ, ಜಗತ್ತಿನ ಯಾವುದೇ ಶಕ್ತಿಯು ನಿಮಗೆ ಹಾನಿ ಮಾಡಲು ಸಾಧ್ಯವಿಲ್ಲ... *"ಯುಧಿಷ್ಠಿರ"*

ಈ ಲೇಖನ ಎಲ್ಲರಿಗೂ ಪ್ರಯೋಜನಕಾರಿಯಾಗಿದೆ, ಆದ್ದರಿಂದ ದಯವಿಟ್ಟು ಯಾವುದೇ ಬದಲಾವಣೆಗಳಿಲ್ಲದೆ ಹಂಚಿಕೊಳ್ಳಿ.

"ಸರ್ವೇ ಭವಂತು ಸುಖಿನಃ - ಸರ್ವೇ ಸಂತು ನಿರಾಮಯಃ"
