When Pandavas were preparing to go to the forest, Dharmaraja called Draupadi, asked her to sit by his side and said, “Owing to personal differences between us and Kauravas, a situation has arisen by which we must live in the forest for 12 years and one year in incognito. Men will bear the difficulties somehow, why don’t you remain here and take care of old Dhritarashtra and Gandhari?” The Pandavas had asked Draupadi to take care of the two main people who were cruel and in fact were responsible for their having to go to the forest. This is a very great quality in the Pandavas, and we must learn a lesson from this conduct. The moral here is that whatever has to happen in one’s life will happen, but to take such inevitable events and use them to promote hatred is incorrect; it is not good human character. The misfortunes, troubles and pain we experience are not arising externally, nor are they God given. They are the result of our own actions. It is only as a result of one’s own weakness, that one blames someone else for one’s troubles and misfortunes. This is not a right attitude.

- Summer Roses on Blue Mountains, 1976, Ch 8.

Sathya Sai Baba
Mahabharata teaches us that troubles and misfortunes come due to our own weakness.
It is not right to blame others for our troubles. - Baba
