00:00You know the story of Duryodhana? It's a story.
00:02So, it is said that Gandhari had developed a great inner power because of her Satith.
00:08She got married to Dhritarashtra and Dhritarashtra was blind, absolutely blind since birth.
00:13So, she said, what's the point in enjoying sight just for yourself, alone?
00:18So, she said, if the husband cannot see, I'll partner him to the fullest.
00:21If he cannot see, I too choose to close my eyes.
00:24So, what did she do? She blindfolded herself.
00:27And the gods had said, because you have chosen to voluntarily surrender your eyesight,
00:31so you are being given a gift that if ever you choose now to open your eyes,
00:37that which you will look at will become unbreakable.
00:41So, she knew that Duryodhana ultimately will have to fight Bhim.
00:45One day she called Duryodhana and she said, why don't you just get naked in front of me?
00:50But Duryodhana being a big baby, could not give up on cultivated shame.
00:54So, he took off all his clothes, but he covered his genitals.
00:58That much of shame he maintained, even in front of the mother.
01:01So, he goes to the mother and the mother asks,
01:03Kamdhari, son, have you ensured that you have no clothes on you?
01:07And Duryodhana says, yes, mama, I've taken off everything.
01:10She says, fine.
01:11And then she removes the clothes and she looks at Duryodhana.
01:14On one hand, she feels a certain happiness and charm.
01:17It is said, Duryodhana was very strongly built and fabulously good looking.
01:22And she also became angry and disappointed.
01:24Why?
01:25She said, what have you done?
01:26What have you done?
01:27Now, one part of your body remains vulnerable.
01:30And she said, I cannot repeat this incidence.
01:33There is no second chance.
01:36Here, obviously, in case of Duryodhana, physical nakedness is involved.
01:40Whereas, physical nakedness is far easier than psychic nakedness.
01:45It is far, far easier to get naked physically in front of someone
01:49than to get naked mentally, inwardly.
01:52And Duryodhana could not become naked even in the physical, the gross sense.
01:57Are you getting it?
01:58So difficult it is to be open and exposed and vulnerable.
02:03So difficult.
