Passage 10

Use scriptures as guides for right action

There is another example in the Mahabharatha of the differences in response of those attached to Dharma and those filled with worldly attachments. When the news of the death of her son, Abhimanyu, was conveyed to Subhadhra (Arjuna’s wife), she saw in her son’s death the signs of the impending Kali Age in which mothers would lose their young children and unrighteousness would prevail on earth. She recalled that during Rama’s reign’ no woman wept over the loss of her child.
