Today's was philosophical yet had a beautiful loop closure. Once again fate plays in Lakshman's life. There was only one time in Lakshman's life when he disobeyed his brother. That was when Sita told she will commit suicide if he didn't go to protect Ram. Lakshman goes and the result was Sita haran.
Now today Laxman was again forced between his brother's order and Raghukul ki reeti. He had to choose Raghukul ki reeti as no one goes empty handed from Raghukul and he goes to Ram's room announcing a visitor.
Actually it was a very beautiful loop closure and a very beautiful learning for everyone concerned. If you look Lakshman is a man of Sanskriti. He always thought he will be able to control his niyati. He makes Nidra Devi give Nidra to his wife so that he can keep himself awake to protect his bhaiya-bhabi. He puts a line of protection for his bhabi. But niyati, time outwits him because Sita instead of obeying laws of nature obeys laws of tradition.
Just like today he faced the dilemma of Raghukul ki reeti and Ram's order Sita too faced the same dilemma of Lakshman's caution and Raghukul ki reeti. Remember the dialogue Raghunandan ke dwar se koi khali haat nahi jaata. No one goes empty handed from Raghunandan's door. That is how Sita crosses the line. And that one thing Raghukul ki reeti started the problems of all her life. We talk about kul ki maryada and all. But when to apply that funda. Ram says based on time and circumstances take decision. Time and circumstance is over and above any kul ki reeti or neeti.
Sita was alone in the ashram. Lakshman had cautioned her asur will come in different dress. At no point she should cross the line. Time and circumstance should have made Sita cautious. She should have heeded Lakshman's warning above kul ki reeti. But she doesn't. It is said that you cannot alter the fate, but if you take wise choice you can reduce the impact of the fate. In life also we should take decision based on time and circumstance not based on kul ki reeti, neeti. If time and circumstance demands a change in kul ki reeti and neeti that change has to come.
Today Lakshman follows the same funda irrespective of previous experience. Just like he had given warning to Sita, today Urmila comes to him with warning. Please stay away. Let this moment pass. But then he chose to obey his brother. Urmila demands to be heard once. But no. Raghukul ki reeti and listening to his brother's order becomes important to him.
The loop closes. Raghukul ki reeti made Ram sacrifice his wife and the same reeti the vachanpalan makes him sacrifice his brother too. The brother who has followed him like a shadow. The man who was asked to banish Sita, faces the banishment himself for the larger good of Ayodhya.
Ram-Kaal convo. Here was a man to whom Lord of death asking permission to take him. And he says if as per niyati, time has come for him to end his avatar he is ready for it. And Kaal says we humans are binded by desire. No one wants to leave this place, once they come here. But Ram willingly accept the niyati. He is like lotus that is in lake, yet above lake. It teaches us to be attached yet detached in our dealings.
Coming to Hanuman. He learnt the life lesson. Life looks beautiful, precious but just like the ring that glistens it is only a journey that ends one day. We will be replaced by people. What cannot be replaced is our actions. Actions that can impact lives. Thoughts that can inspire. Only that lives on. Not this physical body. Spend your life doing actions that impact lives positively, share thoughts that inspire others. Then you will keep on living just like Mahatma Gandhi, just like APJ etc etc
