I personally like this episode of Mahabhaarath very much since the day I learnt it from my guru, sadguru Sree chaaganTi gaari discourse in 'ShreeKrushnaarjuna Samvaadam'...
Many a time we feel that we have achieved something superior on our very own efforts...
And the truth would be that Lord has sent the best of his chosen Bhaagawataas for our rescue upon our plea, for that his 'Love' for his devotees is unconditional and his 'Love alone' would remain as the much needed beacon to cross the mundane ocean of Samsaara...![](https://static.xx.fbcdn.net/images/emoji.php/v9/ta5/1.5/16/1f642.png)

Paritala Gopi Krishna
A nice message... Please only take the essence in the message.
*Loved this story from Mahabharata*
*While the battle of Kurushetra was at its peak, Arjuna and Karna were fighting each other. It was a battle to witness, a flurry of arrows were being exchanged, and even Gods were witnessing this epic battle between the 2 warriors.*
*Arjuna would shoot his arrows and the impact of these arrows would be so much that Karna’s chariot would go back by 25-30 feet. People who witnessed this were amazed by the skills of Arjuna.*
*Karna was no less. When he shot arrows, Arjuna’s chariot would also shake and go back by 3-4 feet.*
*More than everyone, Krishna would applaud Karna every time his arrow hit Arjuna’s chariot. But not once did He applaud Arjuna’s skills.*
*At the end of the day, Arjuna asked Krishna: “Oh Lord, I have shot so many arrows at Karna’s chariot, it was being displaced like a feather in wind, but not once did you appreciate me. Rather, you would appreciate his skill despite his arrows just displacing my chariot a little”.*
*Krishna smiled and replied “Oh, Arjuna, remember, your chariot is protected by Hanuman at the top on your flag, Me as your charioteer in the front and by Sheshnag at its wheels, yet the whole chariot would still sway and displace whenever the valiant Karna hit us with his arrows”.*
*“But Karna’s chariot is not protected by any such force, he is on his own, yet he fights valiantly”.*
*It is said that after the battle of Kurushetra was over, Krishna refused to get off the chariot till Arjuna got down. Once Krishna alighted from the chariot, it caught fire and turned to dust.*
*Krishna said “Oh Arjuna, your chariot was destroyed by Karna a long time ago, it is I who was still protecting it.”*
*“Never in your life have the arrogance to say that you have achieved big heights. If you have achieved something, it is the divine will, it is the divine intervention that has always protected you, cleared your path and given you the right opportunities at the right time”.*
