Today Ram told one of the principles I always highlight. War always happens between equals. If you are dealing with a person who has wealth and power, you need to acquire wealth and power to equal them.
While adharma has material wealth and power, what dharma has to strive is to create the wealth of relations and power of trust which can manifest into material wealth and power.
That is what we see in action today. Ravan fights on a chariot, Ram fights from ground. But then Lord Indra brings the chariot to Ram. Why because of the trust Lord Indra has in Ram's cause. In Ram's victory lies his victory also.
What people on the side of dharma needs to know is that simple principle of creating Purusharth or rather wealth and power, which many people ignore. Ram's life gives ample examples of creating the purusharth the right way. His love for his brothers, his loyalty towards his praja, his love for his wife, his alliance with Sugreeva and Vibhishan everything shows how by walking the path of dharma you can create Purusharth.
The Maryada Purushottam shows the maryada of everything. And today he also showed us the maryada of taking divine help. By understanding why the divine help is offered. No sudden high level favour has to be accepted. But if the right reason is given you have to be gracious enough to accept it also.
So once the message is clear. Learn to cultivate relations, learn to cultivate trust everything else will fall in place.
