Most important
lesson from his life is ‘karma’ how the law of karma forces us to bear consequences
of our ‘good acts’ too! How we are all
bound by our acts and how these karma affects our decision –taking capacities
too!
This was told to Lakshmana by his Charioteer Sumitra "Fate indeed is inevitable. Rama is the
Avatar of Lord Vishnu. In the ancient times, it so happened that the sons of Diti (the Daityas) conquered by the gods, approached the wife of Brigu and having been granted security (by her) dwelt there (at the hermitage of Bhrigu) fearlessly. The Lord of the Devas (Vishnu) angered at seeing them thus protected by her, severed the head of the spouse of Bhrigu with his discuss. then the scion of the Bhrigu family seeing his spouse thus done to death, with rage in haste cursed Vishnu, the destroyer of His enemies (the Daityas) thus 'As you have killed my spouse who did not deserve to be killed, infatuated with anger, so you will take birth in the mortal world o remover of mortal woes. Then in your mortal existence you will meet with separation from your spouse for many years'. Later when Sage Bhrigu suffered the pain of his curse, Lord Vishnu who is ever affectionate to his devotee spoke thus 'For the welfare of the world this curse will be accepted by Me'".
This curse had
to be fulfilled during Rama Avatar and hence their separation. You reap what
you sow. No Act of anyone goes unpunished even if that act is for the good of
the world and necessary and if it has caused pain even to one. The question is
“Would you rather be a person acting as per Dharma and take steps for the
greater good of all and bear littler personal negative consequences of that act
or let the world go to hell for fear of your karma and remain a spineless person
and lead life of a varmint”. Choice is yours. Either way you’ll bear
consequences of your act. Your choices decide your fate!” She (the Guru) stopped with the statement as a
matter-of-factly. There was silence. It was quite sometime before a voice was
heard “This is the first time I heard about this curse. I didn’t know that
Rama’s act was governed by his act of previous life – i.e., his karma. This
actually shifts the needle differently now. Yeah, now it sort of makes sense.
It all seems to fall in place.
