Karna’s Psychosis

 Karna’s Psychosis 

Dr Swati Joshi 

There are symptoms of slight Psychosis in every person. When you perform an activity more than needed then you are leading to the Psychosis. When you try to go to the level of Extremists it creates destructions but it should be considered that there are the people who are doing for the betterment of the society. When a person is imbalanced is in his action or thinking then he is in the category of insanity. Extreme rain will cause flood and extreme heat will cause draught. The reason behind his extreme actions was his abandonment at childhood. 

      “Ati ka bhala na bolna

Ati ki Bhali na chup

  Ati ki bhala na barasna

Ati ki bhali na dhup”


At last it can be said that a person who is not able to raise the voice against the injustice they are in the category of “Psychosis” because they are not able to understand the difference between right and wrong and even if they know they do not want to react or emerge the voice against it. Karna is in the category of this where he knows everything but do not want to react. 


“The world of the Person suffering from psychosis can turn into this meaningless confusion consequent on a failure to differentiate inner and outer reality.”47 


But on the other side Karna is also suffering from the mental and physical struggle. Knowing everything and then react it is such a big task for any human. He knows everything then he chooses his death. That is again a courageous and heroic task if we follow the mythical concept. But in contemporary society this mythical concept is not acceptable where everybody thinks about themselves. To fight with others is easy but to fights with own person is very difficult. The same condition is faced by Karna. Karna was fighting on two fronts. One is with his own self (to be or not to be) and second with his family as Pandavas. We even cannot imagine the mental pressure of Karna where he has to take the decision of fight and giving.  So it would be injustice for the character of Karna to limit his character with boundaries of limited mythical concept or with contemporary society. 

2 Salya-

Salya is the character who was always in touch with Karna and giving advice to Karna in the battlefield. This symbolises his dedication towards Karna. He comes to us as advice giver and also the friend of Karna who is ready to hear the pain of Karna. He also shows sympathy to Karna. He alerts Karna for not to give armour to Indra. Salya was able to recognise the intentions of Indra. 

“Salya- King of Anga, you have been cheated. ......By Indra.”48

Karna’s Sacrifice- A Healthy Sacrifice?

 Karna’s Sacrifice-  A Healthy Sacrifice?

Dr Swati Joshi 

Now the question arise is it a healthy sacrifice? Karna has given what has come with him by birth, essentially limbs of your being. How will you justify this sacrifice? 

“Don’t be alarmed. Forgive me, holy man. Listen again. My body armor was borne with my limbs, nor god nor fiend can pierce it with their weapons. Yet will I gladly give it thee, with both the ear- rings, if it please thee.”45

          The answer may be even in his giving there were resources of taking and what was he is taking that is “immortality”.  The intentions are questionable if a person does not want to justify the deed of action. The same thing is with Karna who is not able to ask a single question that why Indra in form of beggar wants this. It can be said that this gift giving of Karna makes it useless because there is no use. It cannot be reusable or re adjustable to other bodies. “He just wants to give it as a face saving activity.”


Relevance

   Even in contemporary society people are ready to give donation but without thinking that is it good for the opposite party who takes the donation. In contemporary society everybody who gives, gives for fame and to get a high position in society. 

           There is a big difference between action and intention same as civil offence and crime. This theory can be applicable for the character of Indra whose intention to take the armour of Karna is not good. To save the life of Pandava he has done this work and left Karna to die. This is highly relevant in the contemporary society where every human being is doing every work with intentions and the intentions may be good or evil. But every act and deed has intention even the donation

6 Karna from the Keren Horen perspective

There is a theory of Personality given by Keren Horney where Horney discusses that there are the three categories of people in the society. 

1 People who move towards society

2 Move away from the society.

3 Against the Society. 

In first category there are the people who are ready to do anything to get a prestigious position in the society. They are in the category of – for the society, by the society and of the society. They are ready to accept and to do anything to be the part of society. They are ready to go to the level of extremist. In the second condition where people move away from the society as saints do. The third condition is against the society in which people are in the rebellious form as terrorist, Hitler. Karna is in the category of person who moves towards society but in an extremist way. He just wants to prove that he is also an important part of society and even society is ready to accept him. They are the yes people of the society.

Karna and Indra the winning and losing game

 Karna and Indra the winning and losing game

Dr Swati Joshi

Gujarat 

Karna who is ready to give his armour to Indra, has to face two different situations.

1 If he will not give his armour then he will lose his name as Karna- a giver. (Identity of giver) 

2 If he will give then he will loses his life. 

Here he chooses to give his name was larger than life for him. So he decided to give. 

The question is who will emerge as a winner in the game of asking and giving. If Indra wins he can defame Karna by circulating that he has not fulfilled his words of fulfilling desire of a beggar and if Karna wins he will immortalize himself in the anal of mythology by taking the title of the selfless giver. But in both the cases Indra wins more. If he loses he will defame Karna and if he wins he will be able to save his sons life. In both the cases Karna lost as an insane person. If he gives his armour he will lose his life and if he doesn’t he will lose name and in any case where he was not at win-win situation. 

“Without his earrings Karna is a hero who is “without himself” that is dead or soon to be dead- the earrings being an emblem for his identity or life.”44 

Relevance

In contemporary society also life puts forth challenges in which if we accept we lose, if we deny or refuse we also lose. These challenges occur constantly in present contemporary society where people refuse to move on and take negative or criminal actions as for example, killing, murder, or suicide. Most of the people in contemporary society accept the situation but cannot live in society peacefully and move towards to find out the God and become saints, priests, and nuns. They see themselves as it would be better for them to move away from the society. 

Dr Swati Joshi

Karna as a giver

 Karna as a giver

Dr Swati Joshi

Gujarat 

 Karna is seen as giver and he creates his image by giving armour to Indra. The reason behind his giving is his willingness to get attention in the society. He wanted his place in the society. Karna needs the attention love, care, respect and position in the family as well as in the society. To prove that he also deserves the fame in the history he sacrifices his Kavach and Kundala. Karna was under the psychological pressure of impressing his identity on the society in general and by giving his (toe to head) his Kavach and Kundala to Indra in particular. Karna was also in the same category where he did not want to think that if he will give his Kavach and Kundala what will be the result. He was just thinking about himself that I want to give these things because I want a place in the history. What will be the result of my giving, what message will be given by me? He never thought about it and took the tag of “Karna- the giver”. Karna must ask question to Angle that why he is in need of my Armour? To give anything to anyone without thinking is not the real meaning of giving or selfless giving. This is our responsibility to ask question why you want this and right to say ‘No”

“The driving force in Personality development is seen by client- centred theorists as the “Self actualization motive” which seeks to optimally develop capacities. As an infant grows the infants “Self Concept” begins to be formed. The development of the self concept is highly dependent on the individual perceptions of his or her experience.”43

Relevance

 In contemporary society we have many people who are using mask on their faces and by using the mask they want to hide their limitations and weakness. These people are in the category of people who will never say single word and they are not on any side. They are not able to decide what is right and wrong. This kind of people is creating poor and weak society. In contemporary society we have many people who are in the same category. They are not able to take their own decision because they feel decision taking activity is a risk and they avoid the risk of taking. But the fact is that these people we have seen make a weak society by just obeying someone. These people are dangerous for themselves as well as for others.

 Another important characteristic of Karna is that he was not able to say ‘No’ to anyone. This shows his mental weakness and he just wanted to be in the category of pleasure (a person who always wanted to make other happy). This is the kind of crossing the boundaries of Sanity. Psychologically if you are not saying no then you are mentally disturbed or stressed and the person’s foundation is shaking somewhere. They just want to make their place as too good to someone. These people just doing this to show off.
