About this listen
A story from the Mahabharata about a man who gave away the only thing keeping him alive.
Karna was born with his armor. Not given it, not forged for him - born with it, fused to his flesh, a gift from his father the Sun God.
As long as he wore it, no weapon could kill him.
A god came to him in disguise to take it away.
Karna saw through the disguise immediately.
He gave the armor anyway - cutting it from his own body, still warm, still bleeding - to a god who had come in deceit to rob him of the one thing standing between him and death.
He knew exactly what it would cost him.
He gave it anyway.
This story will stay with you for a very long time.
New story every day.
Follow so you never miss one.
