Attraction of Sages to Rama & Attraction between souls

[Guest guest]

The sages saw Rama and liked to embrace Him. Is it not

homosexuality? No. They will not have such feeling, which is unjust

and unnatural also. It is unjust because, it does not serve the

purpose of reproduction, which is the divine justice. It is also not

a natural path of satisfying the sex hunger. They had beautiful

wives and reproduced children, thus serving the divine mission of

the Lord. Moreover, they did not like to embrace Him in the same

forms as males. They liked to embrace Him after transforming into

females. This does not come under Pravritti(path of justice),

because they have wives and children already. This comes under

Nivritti (path of liberation) in which the climax of love towards

God called as devotion, which crosses all the limits of nature and

justice. It is infinite love towards God, which is unimaginable. The

context of such feeling is neither reproduction, which is divine

mission nor the pacification of sex-hunger, which is a biological

need. It is the unimaginable attraction of the heart of the devotee

towards the Lord. This attraction is not simply based on the

physical beauty of the Lord, which is meaningless, if analysed. It

is the attraction of the heart of the devotee towards the total

personality of the Lord.

 

There is no distinction of male and female in Nivritti. It is the

point between God and soul. The same soul can exist in a body of

male or female. The attraction between the soul and God cannot be

compared to the attraction between two souls. Thus, there is a

fundamental difference irrespective of the biological sex, which is

related to the bodies. " Pumsaam mohna rupaaya " means that the sages

are attracted by the divine personality. Moha means attraction and

not sex. Kama is sex.

 

The husband or wife gets attracted by a better `total personality'

of opposite sex, whenever met in life. Mental attraction is hidden

by several people by controlling their words. Words and actions of

body are inert and do not participate in the sin. When this body,

which spoke or did some wrong activity is left over here, the soul

is taken to hell in some other energetic body and is punished. If

the body is a participant of the sin, it should be directly taken to

hell and should be punished. Therefore, in the hell, the mind is

punished through another new body. Therefore, the sin is in the mind

and not in the body.

 

Once the mental attraction is there, the sin is recorded. The words

and actions of body are works of inert energy and have no sin. When

Sita was carried by Ravana, the body of Sita was fully touched by

Ravana by force as per Valmiki Ramayana. This was referred by Sita,

herself, (yadyaham gatra samsparsam…). But such attraction was not

in her mind and therefore she was declared pure by fire God (Agni).

Renuka got mental attraction towards a king on the banks of Narmada

river and she did not touch him even by finger. But she was declared

as sinner and her head was cut by her son, Parasurama. Therefore,

after marriage, to get attracted by another person is a sin and the

soul is punished in the hell. If the other side is also not chaste,

will the sin get mutually cancelled and so no punishment to any one?

No. Both will be punished in the hell.

 

According to the ethical scripture, a red-hot copper statue of the

person with whom the illegal contact was done is placed before the

sinner and he or she will be forced to embrace it. The attitude

differs from one culture to another.

 

The villain stole the Helen of Troy. Helen led family life with the

villain. When Helen returned back, again she had the normal family

life with hero. But when Ravana stole Sita, Sita did not even look

at Ravana. Therefore, there is vast difference in the cultures of

East and West in the root itself. I do not criticise or praise any

culture. But even Jesus did not agree to any such illegal contact of

any married human being. He criticised even the prostitution. Thus,

the field of Pravrutti is one and the same in view of God, whether

it is East or West.
