@charvi nice take on Karma. The tasting the fruit and giving to him is in fact, do the action, surrender the result to him. And her surrender with love he accepts and give her salvation. It also showed one important thing, birth doesnt decide what you are, but your karma decides. Very relevant in these times

Shruthi I would really like u to read the new update of complexities. 😉 2 parts updated.

Seven vows part 7 updated. Do read and comment

Res...

@DD read and commented. You didnt read part 6 of seven vows . One more suggestion. Let us not reserve positions. we can put date and then put analysis, because when we reserve many pages are going in comments and I guess I did miss some of the analysis in between.

Sruthi di, I will surely read it! And, I agree, reserving gets hard sometimes. What do you say, Janvhi di?

One of the most remarkable episode of SKR. That was it today. It showed 3 people and their 3 different connect with God.

One faith, second search and finally skepticism.

Faith didn't wanted any proof, Search wanted to ascertain and Skepticism wanted proof of existence.

Now Sita says skepticism and demand for proof is the first step towards Bhakthi. So I will start from skepticism itself. Ask ourselves. When do we demand proof. When we feel what the other person says can be true and we will accept it if proof is given. It shows a willingness to accept with proof. So if you Trijadha after being with Sita for so long has travelled a distance in such a way that she has reached a point if proof is given she will believe Sita, but that need for proof stems from Sita's faith.

And coming to Sita's faith. From where does that faith stems from. It is through experience. Sita has experienced Ram. She has grown up listening to Ram's actions. She has felt him as a woman, as a wife. And each of Ram's action she knows how Ram will behave. Hence she is not delusioned by Maya. Also when she was in doubt Maa Parvati directed her and she knows the birth secret of Ram and why he is born. So the faith of Sita stems from her experience of Ram and knowledge she got from Maa Parvati.

If you have to be faithful you have to experience God first and you need to have knowledge about God. Only then you can have unwavering faith in him the way Sita has. It is true about every person. If you need to have blind trust in a person you have to experience that person and have the knowledge on the person's birth secret, his or her mission. Only a person with such trust and faith can guide a skeptic towards true Bhakthi. Like Sita to Trijadha

Now why do people falter in Bhakthi. Why do people pray , but still are not at peace. Reason is they don't trust enough. Though they pray, they don't allow God to take charge, they don't allow him to help them because they have not experienced him, they have not looked for proofs, they have not tried to understand proofs, above all they are not guided by a person who has the trust and faith in the right manner.

It is for such Bhakths actually Hanuman is the helper. See Trijadha is an atheist and Sita a faithful. But most of the people are like Hanuman. He is search, he has intuition but he wants to ascertain. He knows supreme Lord exists. But when in front of him cannot recognize, hence he tries to question. I loved the way he questioned. You don't look sanyasis. You look like sun and moon. Who are you.

And look at Ram, though he praises Hanuman without introducing himself he asks to Hanuman to introduce himself. Hanuman lies. Look Hanuman has not gone to Lord in his true form. Most of us are like that. We go to test him, tease him, question him. Believe me. He will question you back. Unless you reveal yourself, unless you trust him and reveal your true intentions you cannot reach him. Hopefully we will see this tomorrow.

If you are a Bhakth you have to trust him. He will answer your question. But like a puzzle. You have to crack the puzzle and while cracking puzzle you will understand your mistakes and you reach him eventually.

I always believe it is better you question, it is better you try to crack puzzle to reach Lord or take the guidance of a truly faithful person( not sure if we can get one in Kaliyuga) to experience him. Because if you try to be Sita in the first step without experiencing him or without clarifying your doubts, you only pretend to be a Bhakth. But your Bhakthi doesn't express itself.
