A Story from Mahabharatha

When all Kauravas died and Pandavas won the battle, Gandhari; decided to see the body of her sons by unfolding her eyes. She went to the battle place and when see unfolded her eyes, she saw 100 bodies of her sons lying on the ground one after another. She was in pain as she was practically blind after her marriage to Dhritrashtra and now when she unfolded her eyes she was in front of dead bodies of all her sons. She was crying in deep pain, when she saw a tree of 'Berry' with juicy berries on it. She forgot all her pain and was deeply involved in berries, she decided to go and taste a few of them, but she soon realized that height of tree was much more than what she thought. She; crazy about berry, without realizing what she is doing, dragged body of her youngest son and stood on his chest but was not able to reach the berry. She repeated with another son's body, made a bunch of 100 bodies with duryodhan on top, and stood on his chest.
When she was about to get a berry, she saw Shri Krishna Standing in a corner and smiling at her. She sooner realized what she was doing and was in deep pain and cried a lot.
Then she asked the Govinda, "According to you, what we get in this life is a result of what we did in this life in earlier or what we did in our earlier lives. I can see my last hundred births and I know I did not do anything wrong, then why did you give me so much of pain that I saw death of my 100 sons and now I am feeling the guilty of standing on chest of my son.?"
Shri Krishna Smiled and answered, "you can see only last 100 births, But 'I' can see beyond that, I can see when there was nothing, I can see when there'll be nothing. 101 births ago, you were suffering from severe headache and you tried all kind of medicines but nothing helped, finally you approached a TAANTRIK, who asked you to kill a hundred earth worms and make a paste of them and apply it to your forehead. You did as instructed. HEY, MOTHER OF HUNDRED SONS, these 100 kaurvas were actually those earthworms who gave you everlasting pain in your heart.
