Choosing our partner whether for life or a professional partner, needs some connectivity.
Arjuna chose Krishna to be his partner his chariot driver, and Krishna was gracious enough to become a chariot driver for Arjuna.
This picture is imprinted in the heart of millions forever.
On the other hand when Karna who wanted to match Arjuna s power asked Duryodhana to find some one as good a charioteer as Krishna , Duryodhana chose Salya to drive the chariot of Karna.
Salya with many conditions and great hesitation agreed.
Apparently Salya was as good a chariot driver as Krishna and Karna matched Arjuna 's valour. But did the parternship work for Karna and Salya?
It was one of the most disastrous partnership.
Arjuna was confused in the beginning, Krishna cared for him, and eventually when Arjuna was ready to hear Krishna spoke the immortal science of the bhagvad gita. Whenever Arjuna was in of need of any kind of help, including massaging the horses, feeding them grass, and again driving the chariot the great lord Krishna would do it as a part of his daily routine.
On the other hand Karna was is no mood to hear anything that was spoken by Salya, and Salya in his high spirit and at the cost of being offensive would continue to speak to Karna. This situation went on for days.
Eventually Salya left Karna as Karna would not listen.
Once the wheel of Karna 's chariot got stuck in the mud however Salya was not there to help his partner when Karna needed him the most, to pull out the wheel of his chariot.
This situation cost Karna his life.
Where even an ordinary charioteer could have helped Karna, his own charioteer was also not there to help him. ...
Salya was a great partner, but the partnership was an utter failure. It is better to choose a person who becomes part of a good partnership even though the partner may not be efficient.
