Worship Him who alone stands by us, whether we are doing good or are doing evil; who never leaves us even; as love never pulls down, as love knows no barter, no selfishness.
Rama was the soul of the old king; but he was a king, and he could not go back on his word.
“Wherever Rama goes, there go I”, says Lakshmana, the younger brother.

Drama and music are by themselves religion; any song, love song or any song, never mind; if one’s whole soul is in that song, he attains salvation, just by that; nothing else he has to do; if a man’s whole soul is in that, his soul gets salvation. They say it leads to the same goal.
Wife–the co-religionist. Hundreds of ceremonies the Hindu has to perform, and not one can be performed if he has not a wife. You see the priests tie them up together, and they go round temples and make very great pilgrimages tied together.
Rama gave up his body and joined Sita in the other world.
Sita–the pure, the pure, the all-suffering!
Sita is the name in India for everything that is good, pure, and holy; everything that in woman we call woman.
Sita–the patient, all-suffering, ever-faithful, ever-pure wife! Through all the suffering she had, there was not one harsh word against Rama.
Sita never returned injury.
“Be Sita!”
