“If you believe in Shri Rama follow his ideal.”
When Ravana kidnapped Sitaji, Shri Rama felt his duty to rescue her. But in his kingdom, he was so just that for people he left her after spending so many years to rescue. As Sitaji herself a Devi so there’s no effect. So, Shri Rama did it to keep the benevolence of public opinion. That society wouldn’t accept the women who are questioned, although she is a Devi Pure and Nirmala.
Later that Sita also left him. Somehow, She left him as a woman and Shri Rama as a man. Sitaji disappeared into the mother earth and Shri Rama went into River Sarayu. Their life is very eventful and full of Miracles. You see how shri Sita and Rama have good attitude and are faithful each other. Even if she was left Sita thought it her duty. She never complained or talked ill of him. And effortlessly she has raised her children. Shri Rama’s children are called Luv and Kush. They came as devotees and we can see them as disciples. They represent Shisya disciples. The power of Shisya. So we can be disciple of someone. As disciples they learned archery when they were small. And learned Ramayana and got proficiency in the music showing the disciples must surrender completely to the Guru. We also have a disciple in us.
They were completely surrendered to the Mother who is Shakti. Even they were about to fight against Shri Rama. They kept Mother highest in the world. The mother cared them and made them completely dharmic. It was her first duty. Not like today wives just cry, “My husband left me”. But with husband they fight always and if he leaves, they will cry.
“He has left no problem I have children, I will care for them, they will get all they need.” Sitaj’s life was special with bravery and strength. Every woman must have it. Even if you are separated with your husband or far away there shouldn’t be any loss or shortage for children. Because her duty is the most important thing. We shouldn’t give upmost important thing. In Sahaja Yoga all women should get this power. Shri Rama’s life was very pure and Nirmal. He gave up everything for his wife. His wife had gone, he had to live alone and he had to leave her. He gave up all the comforts of the life. You know he used to sleep on grass, on floor and walked bare feet and wear clothes like saints. All these are not stories, it’s a fact.
In India many people used to have high standard life and they have never thought about small and low-level things. But all these ideals of our country have become fake. By singing bhajans to Ram we think we are done. We have got a kind of hypocrisy. In countries without these ideals people try to become the ideals correcting themselves. If you have the ideal in front of us, you don’t become Shri Rama or Krishna or you have anything to do with them. We feel like that.
But if we have Shri Rama inside, his light can be in our attention. Let’s understand the circumstances when Shri Rama came on earth. Sahaja Yogi must understand. If we get Shri Rama’s state, all our political problems will go. When we decide to become like shri Rama, then everyone becomes good, firstly dharma, success and education then the ideals. For that he made his life very idealistic. When someone tells you something but he doesn’t do it himself, then how can you trust him and get his quality? There are many people who say we believe in this and that, but they are opposite. Followers of Ram seems to be the biggest fraud politician and they have many wives. Impossible!
What is the duty of Sahaja Yogis’ life? We have to bring the light of God in our attention.
We must see and behave as Shri Rama. What would Shri Rama or Sita do in this situation? What would Sitaji say? How would Sita behave? She is also Gruhlaxmi. As you know Sitaji took many births. Gruhlaxmi was in the form of Fatimabai. She was humbly in the house but all dharma was done by her power. Not necessary for her to go out and give big lectures. You can do that work at home with children relatives and friends. You can spread Sahaja Yoga at the house. After getting all of it you can go out to society.
But ladies have to have purity like Sitaji first. First thing of the purity is motherhood and love. …Nowadays women think there is much pressure of the work, but it is not. A woman is like earth element, she can absorb. So many are given by the earth. In the same way women are like the earth. We have got so many powers that we can take everything inside and shower the rain of love. God has given us the power…
You must understand women can keep all her power within her to become ferocious. But if she wastes her powers in fighting, arguing, complaining or in frivolous things then her power would be gone. Women are so powerful that she can work more than men if she wants. But first of all, she must respect her powers. By scattering and wasting she becomes powerless. This kind of woman is not good.
Women’s job is very important and full of dignity. Women should be very modest and very wise. Let men use bad words but women cannot. Men can argue and would fight let them do but not women. Their job is to make peace, protection and helping people. She is like shield not like sword, and sword cannot be shield. Shield is greater than sword as shield can bear the sword. Sword can be broken but not shield
So, her most important power is humility. With humility come all the powers. It’s not difficult for Sahaja Yogis, not at all…The base of dharma is in woman’s hand. Woman must manage husband dharmic making him understand. This is the biggest duty and power of woman to be dharmic. Biggest dharma is forgiveness. Without it nothing works out. First thing she must have forgiveness. Forgive children, husband, give refuge to house servants, all are her duty. This is the work that Shri Rama couldn’t do neither Shri Krishna nor Shri Jesus.
