The Mahabharata is not a religious work, but something more.
This is a work of art.
It explains how men always fall in the dynamic coupling of the chasm between moral and immoral recall.
This space is constantly in motion, the fact of uncertainty, men can become men.
not animals, not gods. Men.
In the Mahabharata, the truth is relative: it is defined by the context and motive. It encourages the noblest of men - Yudhishtra, Arjuna, Lord Krishna Himself - a lie, so that a greater truth can be served.
It explains how the world is fueled by desire. And this desire is something unknowable. This desire evokes death, destruction and anguish.
But it also creates the love, beauty, art is our biggest downfall, but it is also the only reason to do anything.
