12. Effect of Sita’s

Message on Rama

Look what happens next.

When the chief soldier returns and meets Ramchandraji,

He asks : “Did you leave Sita in the forest ?”

The soldier replied, “Yes, My Lord. No sooner did I convey
your orders to Sita, she immediately got off the chariot without
any arguments. When I started weeping, she consoled me by
saying : ‘Why are you crying ? It is not your fault at all. You
are your Lord’s loyal servant and I too, am his faithful wife.
Thus it is both- your and my duty to follow his orders. She
continued, “Tell your Lord not to get disturbed. Because it
is not his fault as well. Only my previous karmas are to be
blamed. This is all karma’s work, then why are you feeling
sad ?”
Rama was completely taken aback by these words. Sita’s
royal nature and depth amazed him !

The chief soldier further said, “Lord ! While returning I asked
if she wanted to convey anything to you ?”

At that time, she gave you this message. “Tell your Lord that
thought he left me because of people’s criticization – this
act will not hamper his salvation. But tomorrow, if people
criticize Jain religion, then trusting such ignorant people’s
opinions do not leave Jainism because absence of Jainism is
surely going to hamper his progress towards salvation.”
