Ram's thoughts after Ram-Vibhishan milan and Vibhishan's coronation near Rameshwaram (Some members wanted me to take Ram's character only so here I am with my best possible efforts - I have maintained the pattern of English for consistency otherwise I feel my fluency of thoughts and depth of emotions and feeling of dialog writing of RSji like I did in my fanfics would have been much better, informal, natural and enjoyable for me had I written in Hindi.)
Ho Bhagwan maanav to samajhega itna, ki maanav ke jeevan me sangharsh kitna;
Vijay antatah dharmveeron ki hoti, par itna sahaj bhi nahi hai ye moti...
If the
Almighty comes as a human, then HE would realize what challenges humans
have to face at every step even if the ultimate victory is always of the truth.
The world is like edge of a sword and living in it is like walking over it. Particularly
if your own community and family members are not following the path of the
truth despite your all greatest of efforts, it becomes the highest challenge in
life to stick to your truth. In order to stick to the truth, by putting it
rightly as your top priority, you have to take very bitter decisions in your
relations and that gives you pain like you are punishing yourself despite doing
nothing wrong yourself. Day and night living among and in the evil company, it
is the toughest job to preserve one's religiousness. It is even better to be in
the hell than being in the company of sinners and evils. Strange fact of the
society is that despite doing one's best to fulfill one's social duties, society
only blames the person who prefers the truth over the community or family. Such
person finds himself nowhere like a washerman's dog. His own people give him
hatred and blame of being traitor and people on the side of the truth doubt or
suspect him looking at the group from where he is coming. Outsiders feel the
horne and stereotype effect that if the person is coming from the opposite or
evil or dishonest group, the person must be possessing the same characteristics all over his personality.
For that person, it becomes very difficult to win the faith of the people on
the side of the truth and conquering over their prejudices, and his integrity
is always questioned because he couldn't support his own family's and community people's stance. That's
quite unfair for a person who is, in reality, of the group of truth and only truth. His
identity should be with his virtues and deeds and not with his background from
where he is coming.
Vibhishan, I
felt to be having such similar pitiable situation when he had to take all the
risk to come to the enemy's camp leaving his wife, children and property
behind; relying on our mercy, and had to seek my shelter. When he reached this
shore, everyone except Hanuman in our camp was suspecting him and looking at
his possible intention to come here negatively. But despite majority's point of
view, I spontaneously loved the opinion of Hanuman like I always respect his
opinions and knowledge since he is just my second soul.β€οΈ And also my every body part and every atom of it and
inner voice was telling me to embrace Vibhishanπ€. I was feeling some divine
inspiration as if he is related to me from some previous birth. I felt as if he
was my eternal servant and like I naturally do, I felt giving him the status of
my friend to relieve him from all the worries, fear and burden of sorrow. He
thinks I am God. He was told by Brahmaji that I would meet him some day. His
coming to me was destiny's plan. He can be very helpful in achieving the
victory over Lanka and also can be very helpful to save good people in his
community and save his dynasty. He was having faith on me even before Hanuman
met him. He was meditating my name for many years as Hanuman was mentioning. Hanuman
also mentioned how much man of principles and policies he was in daily routine
and how helpful to Sita he was in Ashokvatika. Perhaps I was getting the same
vibrations. He had that faith when he came here that I would show mercy with
him as I am Supreme God. All demigods and sages say that I am Supreme God. Such love and faith
come along with lot of responsibilities. It is my duty to respond to my
followers' and devotees' such surrendership whether I am God or a human. It is my duty to try my best to live upto their faith and perceived standards of virtues of their worshiped form of God. How
could I say "No" to someone who came with love and trust saying "I am yours"?β€οΈ How
could a true warrior and Kshatriya worry about own possible damage in such
situation?!!! If someone really believes me his God, then how actual God could have suspected his devotee's cry and rejected it?? It was impossible for me as such is my self commitment too like the policy of sage Kandu.
Sakrudeva
prapannaaya "tav asmi" iti cha yaachate;
Abhayam
sarva bhootebhyo dadaami etad vratam mam.
Vibhishan, being a
political mastermind, may have some inner natural desire also to become king and to
have the powers to serve his people and maintain the righteous rule and system
with formal authority but he must be very dutybound and sincere servant of his
powerful and elder brother until now. And he didn't utter a single word for
getting anything from me for him other than shelter for him and safety of innocent subjects of Lanka. Both love and cunningness can't be hidden on the face
easily. People coming in front of me reveal their intentions to my heart
automatically. He couldn't be so attracted to come in front of me without
simplicity and love. Even if his intention would have been bad and he would
have been greatest of sinners or Ravan himself, after seeking my refuge and company,
I would have soon made him pure and righteous. But Vibhishan already was but for his modesty calling himself to be naturally evil and Tamasi.
Paapvant kar
sahaj swabhaau, bhajanu Hari tehi bhaava na kaau;
Jo pai dusht
hriday soi hoi, more sanmukh aav ki soi?
Nirmal man
jan so mohi paavaa, mohi kapat chhal chhidra na bhaavaa.
I could
easily notice on his expressions that he was very shy and unwilling to become
the king taking his brother's place or kingdom won by me despite having the political ambition of
having power to make the righteous regime. If he is so surrendering to me, I
must be ready to give him the kingdom of Lanka after achieving victory over
Ravan. And it is in fact a great relief to me that I got a successor for Lanka here far away from Ayodhya.
Arrival of Vibhishan now has relieved me greatly from my worries about the
future management of Lanka after war. I needed somebody to become the king and
organize the kingdom well and righteously and someone who understands those
people, loves those people and someone, who is their own. Now Vibhishan is
perfect person for me to give to Lanka people immediately after the war to
restructure the city. Perfect setting!!! This factor made me spontaneously assuring him the succession of the kingdom after victory. It was a great day today!π All are
great omens! Positive omens! I have now accomplished his symbolic sacred
procedure of consecrating water and coronation of him as future king of Lanka
as my promise to him and this makes the day a landmark day of a positive
successful achievement in the aim of 'Dharm sansthaapan'.ππΌ And so glad I am that
all my beloved apes and bears and dear friend Sugreev and others respectfully
accepted my principle of giving shelter to enemy even in either of the two
situations whether his intentions are pure or they are fraudulent, without
thinking or worrying about danger to their lives. Such is their love and
respect for me! Such is their faith on me! Such is their devotion to me! Such
pure they are! Such innocent they are! And that only makes them dear to me. β€οΈ Only selfless and righteous troops could have surrendered and sacrificed like that. These are clear signs of victory because this shows that truth is not just with me but clearly with all supporting me. Even Lakshman's one arrow could destroy all demons but it is evident that all of these will get chance to contribute their merit to this dharmayagya and will also end up victorious due to their own righteousness and will gain the self experience for excelling in the art of living for the greatest cause only which they should be repeating again and again on their own naturally in future as their aim of life that I want. Association of Sugreev with Vibhishan, both my
friends now, one already king and one would be king, will also be the perfect
friendship set up in the South of Aaryaavart after achieving victory over
Ravan.ππΌ The stage is all set now. Now the distance upto the accomplishment of rescue of Sita and aim of all demigods is just 100 yojans.ππΌ Now I am looking forward - paritraanaay
saadhunaam, vinaashaay cha dushkritaam''''...
