MYSTERY OF MYSTERIES AND SUPER SAINT - SADGURU SAI NATH

[Guest guest]

For example the epic Ramayana is not only people with hundreds of model

characters who make this tale immortal and inseparable from the constitution

of both our mind and body. Rama personifies the maryada purshottam of the

ruler, while Sita depicts the strength of famine virtues. When one takes

this view, the Ramayana ceases to be a " Story " of great people who did great

deeds in the past. In fact, it is about the fight between the good and evil

that's deep within us. The internal Ramayana ought to be observed before

reading and comprehending the actual epic.

 

Rama, in the internal Ramayana of this mortal body, stands for our

consciousness, which is turn is born when the ten senses are under perfect

tandem. Ten or Dash, and senses or Rath are personified in existence of

Dashrath of whom is born Rama.Consciousness thus rules when senses are under

control. But the regime of Dashrath comes to an end when one of the ten

senses goes beyond control. This one sense which fights the harmony of

Ayodhya is lust, personified by none other then the Queen, Kaikai.

 

Ravana or ego (also Dashmukh i.e. ten-headed is born to bring about the

destruction and the ultimate victory of good over evil. Here Dashmukh

stands for the ten senses gone totally out of control.

 

Meanwhile, Kaikai (symbolizing lust for power) brings about the premature of

death of Dashrath, which also leads the story of Ramayana to a 14-year

tenure (Vanvas) in the jungle. Rama, Sita and Laxman who go to live in the

forest personify the union of consciousness, body and mind. Sita the

physical aspect of consciousness, willfully sides with Rama (consciousness),

while Laxman or union of aim (laxhya=objective) and mind (mann-mind) is a

guiding star and the third force in the trinity.
