Chapter – 50– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Bala Kanda – Lord Shambhu makes an effort to clear the misconception of Devi Sati

 

Devi Sati began to think “The all-pervasive supreme Bhramam is beyond description and perception, free from afflictions and impurities, it is the eternal truth, it has neither birth nor death, it is pure and unblemished, even the Vedas as incompetent to describe the nature of Bramham, hence it concludes ‘Na: Ithi, Na: Ithi’, If so, how did the supreme Bramham assumes the form of an ordinary human? If Lord Vishnu has personified on the Earth for the welfare of the deities and pious souls, like the slayer of demons Tripura, how could he wander all over the forest like an ordinary human, lamenting over the loss of his consort? How could he act like the ignorant Jeeva? he is the beloved consort of Goddess Mahalakshmi who symbolizes wealth and auspiciousness, he is the essence of wisdom and knowledge, he is the destroyer of wicked demons on the Earth, how could he act like an ordinary Jeeva attached to Samsara? On the other hand, the wise words of Shambhu cannot be false, he is the Lord of wisdom.” In this way, Devi Sati couldn’t control her racing thoughts felt very uneasy. Goddess Bhavani’s mind was filled with false notions, but did not utter a word about it. Lord Shambhu who is the knower of all realized the dilemma of Devi Sati, began to speak “Oh! Devi, you are the foremost among the female deities, you shouldn’t have doubts that left uncleared, the one who we have met on our way is the supreme Lord Hari personified as Rama of the illustrious clan of Raghu's, hence he should be revered with great respect, he is my beloved deity whose glories were sung in praise by the Ghatasambhava all these days, and Lord Rama is the one who restore the righteousness on the Earth, and destroy the wickedness demons.”
