Exactly. She was, understandably emotional. But she didn't see how it affected the child.
Isn't that why we always hear, use your head over your heart? We have to discipline ourselves in such a way that we use our mind, and think, before our emotions rule
The lotus symbolism was indeed beautiful ❤️

@DD all the best for exam. Hopefully we will open a new thread this week itself. 😃

@Srutha the lotus symbolism was simply beautiful. And the jasmine flowers surpi gives to Sita, they are half burned. For me it felt like the fresh jasmine flowers will fall in Sanskriti and when Sita comes back after understanding Sanskriti she will be same, yet not the same. The Gauri in her will also have Kali.
@Shirley the basic of gravity is that if anything goes above it will have to come down and it is only matter of time. Bhumija understands Prakriti, but her heart does not understand what goes up, has to come down. Or rather you cant take extreme protection always. Something has to be destroyed. The way she dealt with Asura ladies and then questioning Ram is he so sure that she killed only the adharmi asuras. The Asura child says his father had gone to get him food. Does she understand the food of Asuras can be humans also. Nothing cannot be extreme. Even if it is Prakriti. She is taking Prakriti's nurturing to the extreme. That happened in that scene also. She wanted to protect the child. But what after protection. How to protect, whom to protect, when to protect, what to protect there is not distinction for her at this point. And answers to all this come from understanding Prakriti through the lens of Sanskriti.



ok.. let me think some n get back.. somehow i m not still satisfied😕

maybe u r right to a certain extent... in fact i have to admit that on first reading ur reply, i was nodding my head - yes that's it, but then i imagined the following scenario:

suppose i m trying to run away from danger, say a wild animal chasing me, or a truck wanting to kill me(sorry about this filmy scene), suddenly, i reach a cliff.. now not just the foremost thing but the only hing i can think of at that moment is that certain death (either a wild animal or a truck) is at my heels, and i m just at the edge of the cliff. would i pause to think for a second? or will i continue running as if the cliff is no big deal? wouldnt the thought occur to methat if i take a single step ahead, i will go over the cliff in the valley, lake or whatever is below, dropping dead?

i am not sure if i have been able to put across my point in a manner thats easy to understand or not.. but i hope u get my point


Doesn't that still depend on how you discipline yourself? Don't let your adrenaline take over your body, and get emotional? I know it's easier said than done, but still.
That's why I say we should learn to think before we act. I don't know if my short answer satisfies you, but I will give further thought to it, and tell you if I get anything elsre.

i dont know.. frankly dont know why but that scene still bothers me a lot..
i m sorry but i cant get my logic right around this.

i do get ur point on discipline over emotions, etc.. but this is about a basic survival instinct.

@DD torque right. yaad aaya. My engineering days. 😆😆@Shirley see if this helps. Sita makes deductions based on what she sees in Prakriti. Please note visual. Remember the scene where snake khatig came. She sees the cloud and then some unusual moment in water, which make her take the water. Say it is more cold than it should be to Ram.
Again when Lakshman says he cannot see fruits or vegetables, she says some things are hidden. She knows the way to get things that are again seen.
Once again the flash flood. She sees the bird's nest and make deductions. Then when Jatayu comes the birds flying. She makes deduction.
She talks to plants, to birds again what is seen.
She sees the withered lotus and makes deduction
Urmila questions Sita when she agrees for Swayamvar why didn't she tell her father her feelings. Because she tells she is not sure. If her feelings is true it will manifest. Or rather it will come in the visual medium.
And gravity can you see it, can you smell it, can you touch it, can you feel it, can you taste it. Unfortunately no. It is not something that is in the realm of 5 senses. And so far Sita has not shown an ability in which she understands things that are beyond the 5 senses.
And we need to know Sanskriti exactly uses this point that is beyond 5 senses in the form of Maya. The real knowledge that goes beyond the realm of 5 senses will liberate you from the clutches of sanskriti or tradtiions.

Shruthi.. i guess ur post on visual or rather 5 senses w.r.t. sita does make a lot of sense..
will think n come back..

my basic point is still unanswered - Sita being Earth's daughter, how can she not regard or rather forget about its basic phenomenon??

sorry if i m irritating u .. but somehow this doesn't gel with me.. 😳

leave it if u feel like banging ur head on the wall.. ki ye toh kuch samajhti hi nahi😆😆

DD - this is about that scene where Sita takes the bow and shoots an arrow to shoot the bird/asura to save that kid..
now what still bothers me is the kid fell due the gravitational force of earth.. right? Now, Sita who knows prakriti so well, esp. the earth since she supposedly came from earth, such a basic phenomenon as gravity of earth should be ingrained in her mind/consciousness..

we discussed this scene in details from different angles but i still could not push it out of my mind as a closed discussed. it was as if something was really niggling at me.. something dint gel, in spite of all explanations by u all. i realized this reason only a couple of days back..this is what was bothering me so much - how can Sita disregard gravity even for a nanosecond?
