Mahabharata, Shanti Parva

Karna deceived his guru Parashurama and accidentally killed a Brahmana cow, receiving curses that would cause his death in battle against Arjuna.

Mahabharata, Vana Parva

Bhima encountered an old monkey blocking his path and could not lift its tail. The monkey revealed himself as Hanuman, teaching Bhima humility.

Uddhava & Krishna

The qualities of a true devotee—compassion, freedom from envy, equal vision, non-attachment—arise naturally through sincere devotion. They cannot be manufactured through effort alone but blossom through grace when the heart is turned toward the Divine.

Rama & Vasishtha

The mind has no independent existence—it is merely a bundle of thoughts appearing in pure consciousness. Through self-inquiry, the mind dissolves into its source, revealing the eternal Self.
