Do it at the same moment !
This incident happened in Mahabharata time. Duryodhan and Karna are pet friends. Karna was famous for his nature giving anything to anybody who asks for them. Thus he was said "Daanashoora Karna". He would give away anything who asks for them.
Once Duryodhan and Karna were doing bath at the river bank. Before to that, as Hindu custom they were doing Sandhyavandana. At the same time, a brahmin came near Karna and begged for golden utensil he was using for bath purpose.
Karna without thinking,gave away the golden utensil he was carrying on left hand to brahmin from left hand itself. According to Hindu custom, only the work done using right hand , is considered superior and worth of doing. Now Karna has given the utensil from his left hand !
Duryodhan was seeing all these. He asked Karna why did he gave away the utensil from his left hand whereas he was supposed to use his right hand. Then Karna replied "I had the mind to give away golden utensil to brahmin. Who knows , on the time by transfering the utensil from left hand to right hand I change my mind and decide not to give away utensil ? That's why I gave away the thing at the same moment in whichever condition I am "
Hearing this, Duryodhan was proud of having Karna as his friend.

ReplyDeleteWhen Shri Rama started his vanavaas, Dasharatha begged him "today one day you stay with me, eat with me and then go" - Shri Rama said same reply "I might change my idea, and may not leave" - mind is extremely changeable. It is like a flow of water in the river, cannot be controlled
