THOUGHT FOR THE DAY as written at Prasanthi Nilayam Today
The life of Shakuni in Mahabharatha is a classical case study. He was the
epitome of bad company and bad thoughts. He was not only the maternal uncle of
Duryodhana, but also his confidant. The ego of Duryodhana reached a climax, on
account of the counsel of Shakuni. Ego does not have the power of
discrimination. Duryodhana entered into bad actions and followed the bad
counsel given to him. Shakuni is well known for his evil ideas, Duryodhana for
his egoism and Dushasana for his wrong behavior. Karna was a noble one. But on
account of the bad company he was in, he was ready to perform bad deeds. Hence
the ancient quote, "Bad association causes bad acts". Karna became notorious,
because of his evil association. These are the lessons Mahabharatha holds out
for us. You must be aware of the above and take adequate care. (Divine
Discourse, 'My Dear Students', Vol 2, Chapter 1)
