if you want to really know a person, don't base your judgement on what you see of them in good time, see how they react in bad times - that's who they are ...
And that's what we saw in Ramayana today -
So going ulta - we saw who Ravana is today - not the biggest shiva Bhakt, not a brave King, but a self obsessed man, whose Bhakti is conditional to how it glorifies him!
A man who is vengeful and not one to learn from his mistakes, and improve!
Then we had Parshurama - Rama yudh - and what a yudh that was - where each showed his strength
And we saw the true meaning of courage and strength, we saw Rama trying to remind Pasrhurama of who he actually was - a Brahmin, a Rishi, and that his anger was an outer covering that needed to be shed.
And their duel was fascinating, where it was fascinating to see that since the Brahmin, had taken on the mantle of the Kshatriyas, the Kshatriya Rama wore the mantle of a Rishi - calm and composed, his spirituality his strongest weapon and his humility his biggest strength.
And thus he helped parshurama to see the reality of the dhanush and his own anger!
A beautiful episode, and every day, my understanding of Rama, and devotion to him and how the biggest challenges can be conquered through quiet determination and silent strength!
That there are many ways to conquer your enemies and fight the battles of life!
