This is really amazing, the different approach of thinking. And questioning the basic premise as to why starting up.

Well then , how to find difference between Ram and Duryodhan ?

[@spiritguy3181]

Ram and Duryodhan are not similar at all in terms of their intention, therefore it is easy to spot the difference. While Ram is concerned about the larger good, Duryodhan PRETENDS to be interested in the greater good. The rules of Ram's times are followed by him because they more or less develop his nation, while Duryodhan follows the rules of his time because they develop his own wealth and prosperity.

This guy is so misguided a broken compass seems fixed in comparison.

[@anirudhsingh2354]

can you elaborate.

[@pnasty3398]

Sure. His points seem to make sense but the connections are in fact quite sparse. He is saying point A proves point B and finding connections to show that this is true. This can be done for any two things. You can have the same number of similarities between squirrels finding food and mythology as well. You just need to find the links. In the end, it tells you nothing. Mythology was written thousands of years ago to express concerns and pass down common knowledge. To extrapolate knowledge like he is is bringing out meaning that was never intended and in fact, doesn't exist.

[@spiritguy3181]

Not at all, in fact, it is quite the opposite Mr. Pranav. The facts and points whether A or B that he is talking about are not his to begin with, they are simply a result of in-depth research and fact finding in our ancient scriptures and he has found all this information very explicitly written in the scriptures. All the similarities he draws seem universal simply because they TRULY ARE UNIVERSAL. That is why mythology is so great and these stories have great wisdom because they are equally applicable to a squirrel finding food and men doing business. ;)

[@pnasty3398]

I agree that there is wisdom to be found in mythology, no doubt. But it's rather simple to extend any famous story to have implications in business just as how he does in the video.

[@spiritguy3181]

Yes, it is simple...but isn't that the whole point? People study day and night and some kids even commit suicide in Kota under pressure so they can "become" something. When all this while, it was all rather simple. There is brilliance in simplicity, nothing should be written off simply because it is simple.
