Leave the temporal recommendation of religion with time and carry only with the eternal recommendations, this is what Babar edged!

When Babar came to India, he came with eight thousand soldiers and camped outside Rana Sanga’s Kingdom. Rana Sanga had a hundred thousand soldiers.

Rana Sanga called his astrologer one day before the battle and asked him what will happen in the battle? The astrologer said, “You will be victorious Sir”. Rana Sanga sent this message to Babar. Babar replied, “I would like to meet the astrologer personally. Can you send him over?” Rana Sanga sent his astrologer to Babar's camp. Babar asked him, “What will happen in the war tomorrow?” The astrologer said, “You will lose, Sir”.

Babar took out his sword and beheaded the astrologer, and pointing to the astrologer's dead body told his eight thousand soldiers, “A man who cannot tell his own future, how can he tell my future? Let us finish them”. And this army of eight thousand people defeated our army of a hundred thousand people. Another reason why Babar won was that Babar understood that the Indian mind is a mind that has not been able to distinguish the eternal truths in a scripture from the temporal sayings.

The eternal recommendation in the Geeta says that once in a while, when it is required, the good should stand up and snuff out the bad. In other words, you should resist evil and also be prepared to take arms to annihilate it when required. This is an eternal truth. The Geeta also says that the cow should be worshipped as a Goddess. This recommendation is temporal. It must have arisen from the socio-economic importance of cows in the period when the Geeta was written - so it should have expired when its utility was up. Babar understood that the temporal sayings which should have been discarded are also continuing as eternal truths.

The Mughals invaded India as they knew that Hindus are still stuck up with the temporal recommendations of their scriptures. So they led the charge of their armies with herds of cows. They tied calves to the foreheads of their charging elephants. And the Hindu archers laid down their bows and arrows! The Mughals converted the battle grounds in to cattle grounds and laughed their way to victory.
