Meditate the Lord as Rama the ideal king, also as the Lord who presides over the

art  of cessation, one who is beyond Rajas and as the path to be sought.He is 

the path of ethics and no ethics.H e is the hero who is the best among the

powerful.Being the Law and the knower of the Law, He is the greatest among all

 

Explanation :

 

1.Rama is the incarnation if the Lord who represents the embodiment of the Law

and the ethical behaviour.

2.When to stop anything or everthing is an art which is divine .It is one of the

many manifestation of Laya or Pralaya.The power to stop the activity of the

 mind and  the senses to inaugurate the one life without any involvement is

bestowed by the Lord consciousness in all.It awaits everyone who suffers all his

own  doing  before that point.

3.Rajas is the cause of mental tickling that spurs  everyone to do

something.When this id stopped,it is sattva or tranquility.Rajas also means the

first unit of tangible matter.Viraja is the state before the formation of atoms

and the Lord consciousness presides this state.Those who have attained the state

of Sanyasa live in this state of pre-atomic consciousness.

4.Already explained.

5.One who is fit to lead is the one who is able and who  knows the hearts of

all.It is the Lord Himself who leads everyone  in the form  of his own

individual consciousness that leads safely through many self-undoings and 

makes him reach the culmination of the ultimateperfection.

6.The path of ethics is among the preliminary steps which regulate the lower

nature of man.This precedes the life of no ethics which caused self-inflicted

suffering and forces one to the path of ethics.Once again the path of ethics

precedes thestage beyond  ethics when independent and arbitrary way in the name

of God.TheLord is therefore the ruler of both these paths.

7.’’I am the spirit of heroism intheheros’’ , says the Lord

intheBhagavadgita.Rama is the example.The powerful people belongs to two

classes,Asuras and Devas.The first class manifests power through lower nature

with the help of their own individuality.TheDevas sacrifice the indiciduality to

the welfare of all the apply their power hence forth.Therefore the Lord

represents the example of the Devas.

8.Since the Lord stands as the eternal  background of all, he lays the law for

everthing and everyone.The law stands unblemished  in the hearts of the

individual, while they workout steps  towards itwillingly  or unwillingly

thought they are clouded by the lower nature occasionally

9.The one who knows andcomprhends the law and its purpose represents the Lord in

the form of his higher  consciousness.One whofollows the pathof the law higher

consciousness.One whofollows the path of the Law after comprehending it is

thebestofall those who areborn.Rama represents such a birth,while he played

therole oftheson, husband,friend,enemy, hero,warriour,punisher and the ruler.
