Education of Kaurav and Paandav (2)

One day Vidur saw Yudhishthir in the palace, so he said to him - "Yuvaraaj (Crown Prince), You here?" Yusdhishthir said - "Uncle, at least you don't call me Yuvaraaj (Crown Prince)." Vidur said - "A person should never forget his place. Every person has his path like planets. Among those planets if any planet leaves its path, or leaves its place then Pralay will come. Kripaachaarya cannot teach you accepting greetings, only a maid's son can do this. The knowledge of politics has put me in trouble, that this time you should have been in Gurukul , what are you doing here in palace."

Yudhishthir said - "Great Father had called Kul Guru in your presence only. Then he went to his sister's house from there. So I thought that we should stay here in palace until he comes back. Because you already know this that Duryodhan and Bheem are not even. I always tell him that Duryodhan is our younger brother, you should not mind his childish behavior, but you know Bheem also..." Vidur said - "Then it means that you have run away from Gurukul. When you cannot live in Gurukul, then how will you spend your life in future. Raajaa's Dharm is very strict and difficult. He is ready to sacrifice a person on family, a family on village, a village on country and his own life on the whole country. If you cannot stay in Gurukul then how will you stay in war field? You accept the challenge of your duties and go back to Gurukul along with your brothers."

On the other side Shakuni was preparing Duryodhan for kingship of Hastinaapur. He told him that a good player is that whose orders are followed even by dice. If you need six, then you should six only, because what will do of 12. Second, a good player should always play to win, and he should also know that what does he need to win the game.

Many years before, Bheeshm played a political game through Vidur. If he had not done so, then your father had been the king today. The same Bheeshm is now planning another new arrow for Yudhishthir through Vidur. Bheeshm always calls him "the eldest Kuru son", but how does it matter if he is "the eldest Kuru son", He is only "the eldest Paandu son", but you are "the king's eldest son", therefore you have the birth right on the throne, never forget this. That is why do the same as your Maamaa says, then even Kaal (time) cannot take away this throne from you."

Duryodhan said - "Then what should I do?" Shakuni said - "There are five fingers in a hand, and when they unite among themselves, they make a fist. And fist has an enormous power." Duryodhan interfered - "But we are 100 brothers." Shakuni said - "But you are not five. One hundred fingers cannot make a fist. You should pretend of your friendship to them. You cannot compete Yudhishthir in wisdom and strength; Bheem is not less than you in strength; and Arjun in glory power, and Nakul and Sahadev in peace power are more than you. They don't have only one power and that is "cheating power". Bheem is fond of eating, so let us use it as your weapon."
