Mah\u0101tm\u0101 Vidura knew all this, and therefore he addressed Dh\u1e5btar\u0101\u1e63\u1e6dra, saying: My dear King, please get out of here immediately. Do not delay. Just see how fear has overtaken you.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Cruel death cares for none, be he Dh\u1e5btar\u0101\u1e63\u1e6dra or even Mah\u0101r\u0101ja Yudhi\u1e63\u1e6dhira; therefore spiritual instruction, as was given to old Dh\u1e5btar\u0101\u1e63\u1e6dra, was equally applicable to younger Mah\u0101r\u0101ja Yudhi\u1e63\u1e6dhira. As a matter of fact, everyone in the royal palace, including the King and his brothers and mother, was raptly attending the lectures. But it was known to Vidura that his instructions were especially meant for Dh\u1e5btar\u0101\u1e63\u1e6dra, who was too materialistic. The word r\u0101jan<\/i> is especially addressed to Dh\u1e5btar\u0101\u1e63\u1e6dra significantly. Dh\u1e5btar\u0101\u1e63\u1e6dra was the eldest son of his father, and therefore according to law he was to be installed on the throne of Hastin\u0101pura. But because he was blind from birth, he was disqualified from his rightful claim. But he could not forget the bereavement, and his disappointment was somewhat compensated after the death of P\u0101\u1e47\u1e0du, his younger brother. His younger brother left behind him some minor children, and Dh\u1e5btar\u0101\u1e63\u1e6dra became the natural guardian of them, but at heart he wanted to become the factual king and hand the kingdom over to his own sons, headed by Duryodhana. With all these imperial ambitions, Dh\u1e5btar\u0101\u1e63\u1e6dra wanted to become a king, and he contrived all sorts of intrigues in consultation with his brother-in-law \u015aakuni. But everything failed by the will of the Lord, and at the last stage, even after losing everything, men and money, he wanted to remain as king, being the eldest uncle of Mah\u0101r\u0101ja Yudhi\u1e63\u1e6dhira. Mah\u0101r\u0101ja Yudhi\u1e63\u1e6dhira, as a matter of duty, maintained Dh\u1e5btar\u0101\u1e63\u1e6dra in royal honor, and Dh\u1e5btar\u0101\u1e63\u1e6dra was happily passing away his numbered days in the illusion of being a king or the royal uncle of King Yudhi\u1e63\u1e6dhira. Vidura, as a saint and as the duty-bound affectionate youngest brother of Dh\u1e5btar\u0101\u1e63\u1e6dra, wanted to awaken Dh\u1e5btar\u0101\u1e63\u1e6dra from his slumber of disease and old age. Vidura therefore sarcastically addressed Dh\u1e5btar\u0101\u1e63\u1e6dra as the \u201cKing,\u201d which he was actually not. Everyone is the servant of eternal time, and therefore no one can be king in this material world. King means the person who can order. The celebrated English king wanted to order time and tide, but the time and tide refused to obey his order. Therefore one is a false king in the material world, and Dh\u1e5btar\u0101\u1e63\u1e6dra was particularly reminded of this false position and of the factual fearful happenings which had already approached him at that time. Vidura asked him to get out immediately, if he wanted to be saved from the fearful situation which was approaching him fast. He did not ask Mah\u0101r\u0101ja Yudhi\u1e63\u1e6dhira in that way because he knew that a king like Mah\u0101r\u0101ja Yudhi\u1e63\u1e6dhira is aware of all the fearful situations of this flimsy world and would take care of himself, in due course, even though Vidura might not be present at that time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
