जाकी रही भावना जैसी
प्रभु मूरत देखी तिन तैसी:
Jaki rahi bhavana jaisi, prabhu murat dekhi tin taisi
The lord (your surroundings) will appear as per your feelings
Means there is a law of balance operating, and that we
see the face of God in the form of our deepest thoughts, emotions and feelings
Studying the Sanskrit
root word Bhavana which means
development, cultivating or producing in the sense of "calling into existence.”, hence building is called bhavan, so
we create our own Universe, our own surroundings as per our deepest thoughts
We should never blame
others, for whatever happens to us because that is what we deserve as per the
law of balance, and if we desire to change the world, the only place we can
begin is our selves, for when we change, only then our surroundings will
change, as Krishnamurti said
“The only hope for humankind is the
transformation of the individual. To change the world, you must first change
yourself.”

धीरज धरम मित्र अरु नारी
आपद काल परखिये चारी:
Dheeraj dharam mitra aru nari aapad kal parakhiye chari
Patience, one’s ability to follow the righteous path, Friend and Wife
(female companion) these four are always tested in adversity
In an adverse
circumstance four things are tested--- (1) ones patience, (2) how much can a
person hold on tightly to the righteous path, (3) a friend—one comes to know
who is a true friend and who all are fair weather friends and (4) the woman who
is close to you, a woman who is close to you for material benefit will
disappear but your faithful lover / wife will never abandon you
Now some people ask
this question that why the fourth point say’s women does it not apply to men as
well; the answer is:
First of all
understand that if these words were told by a man, then we could have said that
they seem biased, but these words were said by a woman in Ramayan who was none
other than Devi Anasuya (literally meaning one who is free from jealousy or
envy / the best among woman) the wife of
Rishi Atri to praise Sita who could have remained in her palace among luxury
but instead chose to follow her husband during his exile, so while praising Sita also a
message is conveyed to men that a faithful lover / wife will never abandon you
in adversity so never chase after other woman since men have a tendency to be
very irresponsible in their sexual behaviour (which I have written in the blog
on male female relationships)

In the climax scene of
the Ramayan; when Ram and Ravan come face to face in battle, here Ravan is on an
mayavi (elusive) chariot floating above the ground, serviced by various ghost
and spirits, decked heavily in armour with all sorts of divine weapons, on the
other hand Ram who is now leading an ascetic life stands bare footed in a simple
robe with only his bow and arrows, a complete mismatch, an unequal and unfair
contest, much against the protocol of battle in those days
The story of Ram is
that he was going to be made a king but was instead sent to exile; he faced
many difficulties but never received any help. He always followed the path of
dharma—the righteous path so on this special day when there was a faceoff
between good and evil and Ram stands against the mighty Ravan in battle, bare
footed, finally the seeds of virtue that he sowed in his entire life brought
results and the Gods come to his assistance, the lord of heavens sent his
chariot, which descended from heaven with the horses themselves chanting
mantras and other Gods gave him their weapons, in this way once again the
eternal laws were fulfilled that when there is a decay of dharma, he is born
age after age to destroy evil and to once again establish the righteous order
in society also the Gods coming to the assistance of Ram proves what Paulo
Coelho has written in the alchemist—this Universe conspires in helping you to achieve
your dreams, just like the Universe had once conspired to help Rudra to destroy
Tipura, you may read that story on the link below

Lord Ram asked
Hanuman, "Who are you, monkey?" Hanuman bowed his head reverently,
folded his hands and said, "When I do not know who I am, I serve You and
when I do know who I am, You and I are One.”

These are my very own
interpretation of the Ramayana teachings; currently I am studying the allegory
(deep meaning) of sunder kand and the story of kakbhushundi, the eternal crow,
will write about them in future
