Srimad Ra:ma:yana Tathva Deepika(45)-Ba:laka:nda

[Guest guest]

Sri:mathe: Ramanujaya namaha!

Sri Jeeyar Thiruvadigale: Saranam!!

 

'Ji:va' is like the body of Bhagava:n. The body is

commanded and borne by the 'a:thma' and does every

action for his sake. Similarly, 'ji:va' too is not

capable to act on his own for himself independently.

When the 'athma' is not there, he won't be there.

 

Bharatha had the required caliber to rule the kingdom;

had been decided to be the king by his parents; the

sage Vasishta and the other purohiths advised him to

take up the responsibility. Though outwardly he had

the eligibility, since the 'a:thma' within is not

independent, he should not rule. He should not consider

the kingdom as his. Those who were asking him to accept

the kingdom were just destroying his 'swaru:pa' but not

wishing his 'hitham'. Since this universe and all these

comforts are Bhagavan's and this ji:va also belongs to

Him;one should experience these comforts in the universe

as ordained by Him and for His 'preethi'. Bharatha had

to rule but he shouldn't become an independent ruler.He

established this Dharma.

 

As it is against his swaru:pam, Bharatha wanted to

worship Pu:jya Sri Ramachandra personally, seeking

his blessings and wanted to request him to return

to Ayodhya and rule the kingdom. He went to the forest

along with the ministers, priests, elders and some

troops.

 

 

To be continued....

Jai Srimannarayana!
