Learnings about Unconditional Relationships from Ramayana....
This was the episode in which Laxmana gets hit by a spear from the Mayavi Meghnad and becomes unconscious and near dead !!
A series of Emotions flow.... This is probably the only time when we see Lord Rama Crying.. He cannot control his tears.. his wounded brother lies in his arms and Lord Rama, the Maryada Purushottama, who seldom shows such emotions... is crying helplessly....
He visualises all the good Laxmana has done for him for so many years.... He sees how Laxman talks on behalf of Rama and defends Rama even before Rama says a word.....
Laxman leaves his life of a Prince to accompany Rama on exile....
Laxman left his young wife to be with Rama... He sees how Laxmana stays with Rama like a Shadow..... Rama is well aware of Laxmans love for him and he reciprocates as well.
Laxmans love for Rama is unconditional....
But in real life there are so many Laxmans, whom we neglect, take for granted... and many a times also feel that
Laxman has some work from me, hence he is with me.... which is not the case !!
In real life we probably understand the importance of Laxman only after he leaves us..... or dies...
Rama is praying to God ( he himself is ) that his brother be saved....and its about the responsibility.. what
will he tell his wife and mother.... Laxman is saved... due to the heroics and devotion of Hanuman... When Laxmana
regains consciousness Rama's happiness knows no bounds... Rama gets his life back.....And all is
well.....
Ramayana teaches us a lot. Every lesson is full of Moral stories.
old stories and mythological episodes talk so much about sacrifice, about giving about unconditional love, which is so rare now a days.. With a market driven by competition and insecurity, everybody is more into self...
And even if a Odd man does something totally out of affection and love ; that is seen as some hidden agenda and selfish long term motive......
But we must continue to do good work and leave.... Our objective is not to make the person understand what you are doing for him... our Motive is his well being... and once you see your wish being successful... and the person is helped... leave silently....
The essense of love is Sacrifice & giving....
