One great truth that Rama learnt from Vashishta Maharshi was Life means Conscious thoughts. All experiences that affect us in life happens through thoughts. 

Mind is the medium through which we connect , act and react in this world. We are all looking at experiences....

For eg. we have very recently seen the case of Cafe Coffee Day chairman Siddhartha’s suicide .His thoughts were regarding his shares, commitments , debts, his mistakes , failure and whatever else...How do you think all this affected him? Through his thoughts. 

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Each of us too get affected through our Thoughts. Due to thoughts our ego, selfishness, all our positive and negative thoughts affect the life that we lead. Once we understand that thoughts are Life , then we get a better understanding of Life. . 

With our thoughts we are interacting and connecting to the world and they are our conscious thoughts. Fortunately we can change our thoughts. All are able to move or shift from one thought to the other. 

-------------------------------------------------------------------

We need not stick to any particular thought, eg. when a person is in sorrow and that person is counselled that person is able to change those thoughts. Thoughts can be changed. 

Whereas when we refuse to leave our ego and remain very stubborn by holding on, the mind brings us to the brink where such extreme steps such as suicide or getting into depression becomes the only alternative. 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

In cases where one connects to the world in a positive way, we look at the whole problem positively and can talk with more confidence, try to waiver the interest and make an arrangement to pay back.We should try to solve our problems not with a negative approach rather have a positive approach. 

Once we use a positive approach we will find an option. It may be difficult to find out , but continuing to hold on or getting into depression or committing suicide is not its answer or solution to problems. 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Though it make take time, the crisis will get solved. Being stubborn we should not conclude that tomorrow everything is going to end. It takes a long time. Looking at India itself it took 60 long years to shape , in spite of which it has not yet been shaped. 

So then for our life to be shaped too it takes time. Some make it fast yet others may need more time. 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As far as Sri Raman is concerned he was very clear that THOUGHTS are the roots of this Life. 

We are connecting to the world through our thoughts and in turn acting and reacting too through our thoughts. Here we see a Sri Raman who did not look at the world but focused on thoughts. 

One more thing that Sri Raman learnt was that Thoughts could be changed through Consciousness. Consciousness helps us to change our Thoughts. 

Observing this very clearly Sri Raman never felt depressed or became stubborn or frustrated because Raman had a lot of people to help him due to his positive attitude. He changed the impossible to possible . 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Who other than Sri Raman could gather an army of monkey’s or manage to get Sita from across the sea. All this was because of his thoughts. As you think so do you look at Life. Don’t look at thoughts rather look at Life. Look at your efficiency, creativity your positivity to change thoughts. 

We should learn to see this. Let us educate our Mind to hold on to positive thoughts. 

It is for this purpose that we say MANTRA-S, JAPA-S AND NAMA(E)-S.

Vedantic significance in Ramayanam - 3. Swami Chinmayananda

06/01/2019 3. As Sita weeps for him, Rama also expresses sentimental emotions. Valmiki wants to communicate to us that when we cry for God, he responds. How will he go there ? He is in jungle. The only army he can have is monkeys'. We find so much of criticism in Western literature that monkeys can not make an army. But here it has to be monkeys. Human minds and thoughts are the only ally for the Lord , the spiritual Self, for I and you to reach that state. Monkeys and human minds have the same qualities of ' chanchalatwam' and ' asthiratwam ' ( lack concentration and attention ). These monkeys can never be the ally of the Lord as long as they are ruled by Vali, the incorrigible lust. As long as our minds are ruled by lust we are not ready to do Ram's work. So Vali is to be destroyed and see who comes to the throne - Sugreeva. Greeva means the reins of horses. Sugreeva - the total self control ! Under Sugreeva the monkeys are available to do Ram's w

32. KAMBAN'S SURPANAKHA :

RAMA and Lakshmana drove out Surpanakha, as one takes a stick and drives out a donkey straying into a garden. Such is the brief and simple treatment of this incident by Valmiki. Kamban, the Tamil poet, however, deals with it more elaborately and has made a number of changes in the story. Sitting on the riverbank, Rama watched a swan walking and then looked at Sita, also walking. Noting the similarity in the gait, Rama was pleased and smiled. Sita, for her part, observed an elephant returning from the river and, reminded of Rama's gait, smiled. Thus in Panchavati, beside the river Godavari, love flowed smoothly between the banks of dharma. Just then fate conspired with lust to drag Surpanakha to the presence of Rama. The Lord Vishnu had left the Ocean of Milk and taken birth as Dasaratha's son, to rid the earth of the enemies of the gods. But how was Surpanakha to know this? Beholding the beauty of his person, she wondered: "Is this

49. SITA IN THE ASOKA VANAM :

As HANUMAN stood on the high wall, he did not know why, a thrill of joy passed through his frame. It was the invisible atmosphere which envelopes an accomplished mission and influences subtly the devoted heart. As be had at last reached the spot where Sita was, his whole being throbbed with exulting expectation without any apparent reason. It was an early spring night. Trees and plants were in flowers. Hanuman jumped to a place where there was a thick cluster of trees. This disturbed the birds that rested there and they flew out with sweet noises. Deer and other animals moved about. Flowers dropped from the branches and covered the body of Hanuman. The creatures in the park, looking at the lovely figure of Hanuman covered all over with flowers, thought that the God of spring was visiting the grove in the early dawn. The garden was entrancingly beautiful. Lovely tanks, terraces decorated with gold, silver, ivory, pearl and coral crystal steps, art
