The teachings of Bheesma to Yudhishtira

And this is my next post on “Mahabharata”. This is an extract from “Santi Parva” from the great epic “Mahabharata”. These are the teachings of Bheesma to Yudhishthira in his death bed.

A few tenets are pithily put here for reflection

1. Truth is all powerful. The adherer to truth is never a failure in life.
2. He who wants to be successful in life should practise self-control, humility and righteousness.
3. Man should neither be too soft nor too stiff. He should adjust himself to circumstances.
4. Love is constructive and all powerful. It reclaims the fallen ones.

To be frank there are still a lot of points which i didn’t understand.
