There were primarily two lessons rendered by battle of Mahabharata.
1. In times of strife, extreme tribulation… to put the society back on its pedestal, the mother of all wars like Mahabharata gets necessitated. Every Mahabharata war announces coming of an avatar of that era (God manifest in human form). In Dwapar Yuga came Lord Krishna and to annihilate dark forces of Kali Yuga, in a decade or so mankind would witness advent of Kalki avatar.
To re-establish Dharma (righteousness) a battle equivalent of Mahabharata was an absolute must.
2. The battle of Mahabharata was allegorical, symbolic to convey a very deep hidden spiritual meaning. Samudra manthan is what Mahabharata is all about. Every second human beings invoked both positive and negative thoughts from reservoir of mind plus and mind minus. (Human beings do not have an independent mind, all thoughts are invoked from cosmic mind plus and mind minus). If we learn the delicate art of negating negative thoughts and invoking only positive thoughts then we would expedite our spiritual journey to reach stage of enlightenment.
When the Samudra manthan between negative and positive thoughts occurred, it produced Vish (poison) and also nectar (elixir, Amrita). We could retain the Vish (poison) in the neck like Shiva or it could spread to the whole body (like Lord Shiva or Lord Krishna) making the entire body blue. The elixir of life, Amrita could be used to activate our chakras, awakening of kundalini shakti, the coiled Serpentine energy lying dormant in base of spine. Better the churning of ocean of thoughts, faster our spiritual progress. This process of Samudra manthan was incessant and continues every second of life within every human being both men and women.
Arjuna was the only one competent who finally succeeded in full awakening of kundalini shakti reaching stage of enlightenment. Among all Pandavas, amongst entire mankind only a person like Arjuna was competent to decipher teachings contained in Bhagavad Gita to reach cosmic end of life, enlightenment and finally moksha salvation.
There was no other twist in the story of Mahabharata.
All the individual characters in Mahabharata in both Pandava and Kaurava camps represent various senses and sense objects, each of them relating to a particular aspect of life.
