Faith

[Guest guest]

Hanuman went to Shri Lanka in search of Lord Ram's

wife, Shri Sita. There, the demon king Ravana, knowing

of Hanuman's arrival had his powerful son, Indrajit

ensnare the powerful Hanuman with the mystic

invincible weapon, the Brahmastra. Hanuman was

immediately contained by its spell. Because of the

mystic nature of the Brahmastra weapon, its binding

cords cannot be seen.

 

The others, seeing Hanuman apparently captured, but

without any sign of shackles, decided to further

secure Hanuman with ordinary ropes, thus disregarding

the rarefied powers of the Brahmastra. They were

unaware of the fact that as soon as you place a doubt

over the Brahmastra, it immediately loses its effect.

It's power diminished, Hanuman then freed himself and

wreaked havoc over Shri Lanka before returning to Lord

Ram who was then ultimately able to rescue His beloved

Sita.

 

The teaching is direct. If the practitioner looses

faith in refuge, then the power as well as the dharma

of His shelter is lost. With the cords of love

sundered, the untrusting heart wanders. When the heart

becomes divided in dedication, the essence is lost in

the divide, it forms a opening and the nectar seeps

out, sometimes unnoticed. Divided dedication brings a

loss of spiritual couplehood.

 

The mystical chataka bird is a guru of conviction.

This amazing bird refuses all other waters, except for

rain water that falls only during a fifteen day autumn

lunar cycle. Besides those rains, the chataka bird

will taste no other water, regardless of source. It

has set its heart on the one. Because of its faith in

those clouds, regardless of circumstance, when the

time is right, the clouds shower for that blessed

bird. It is its confidence and trust in those waters

that bring about the downpour.
