Before understanding about this story let’s go to
working of this Universe. Each soul which gets separated from the ‘One’ ‘The
Ultimate’ is, expressing itself in various ways. The various life and inanimate
ways like mineral, plants, single cellular organisms and other evolved animals
and finally as a man. All the expression of life is just not in this world –
our Earth but other forms too like Devas, Celestials and others.
If you are confused understand it as an actor in the
film Industry acting. Film Industry represents our Universe. Not everyone is
seen on the screen. There are lots of people like technicians working behind
the camera for a film to be made. These behind the scenes artists or workers
are our healing angels, devas, celestial being and others. All those on the
screen are the souls that are in this world which we call as Mother Earth. In
this film, there are different level artists. Some are group dancers, nameless
faces whom you ‘don’t notice in ordinary scenes but are then standing, talking
walking and doing such acts in those scenes. Some come for one scene like
courier boy who delivers letter (in a film). All these are called ‘junior
artists’. They are important in the film and yet not given important scenes as
they are not believed to have enough talent (yet!) by the directors of that
film. Then few of these extras become ‘B’ grade artists or start as character
artists. Mumtaz, Vanisree were such actors (there are scores of them but I am
just mentioning couple of them). Then as they do small parts, one day they are
noticed and given a big break and they become stars.
There were scores of asuras and monkeys who
participated in that epic war but who name is also not known as these junior
artists – unknown faces in the crowd. Then come character actors like friends
of hero, heroine and other important roles like (I am giving example from
present day telugu films) Nazer, Brahmanandam, AVS, Srihari, PrakashRaj and
others. They are neither hero or main villain but their roles are also
important in that film like Sabari, Ahalya, Janaka, Manthara, Lankini, Tataka
and others. Of course the main hero is Sri Rama and the one fithting him is
Ravana hence Villain. But I would rather call him a powerful character with
lots of great qualities and abilities and equally strong weaknesses. Yet those
few weaknesses though are few are so strong and have such an impact on his and
others life that all other great qualities and his great achievements and
abilities are negated as against his few negative traits.
Every soul – even the nameless ones are given choice
to pick up the side they are fighting for. Each one of us are given right to
choose our attitudes and how to express them. With every choice we make an
impact on our soul called ‘karma’ or psychic ‘impression’ that decides the next
point of action. It can be in the same life or in the next. Again at that point
of action (imagine) this point as a crossroad in our karmic journey), the road
we choose will decide our path and where it leads. Likewise, every soul chooses
its path and thus indirectly chooses its journey, its stations, its
co-travellers and its destination too!
