17. Sita’s Revelation of the Truth

Sita’s amazing answer :

“O dear sons ! I was left alone in the jungle because of my
own bad karmas. Why to blame your father for that ? He is
a great and noble man. Everyone in his kingdom is happy
and content. Inspite of his greatness, why did my happiness
get disturbed ? You will have to admit that there was fault in
my luck, my Punya and not in his nobility.”

How strongly must have Sitaji cultivated her mind to speak
such gracious words for the husband who troubled her so
much !
Understand 1 thing,

Your mouth will speak only that which your heart believes.
The reason behind bad words is bad thoughts and wrong
intentions.

But Sita’s heart and mind were as clear as crystal. Thus bad
words and accusations towards her husband were impossible.
She was pure-hearted and noble and hence Lord Arihantas
truly resided her heart. Only because of this she accepted
Lord’s path of renounciation even after successfully passing
the Agnipariksha and being warmly welcomed by one and all.

A question that is bound to rise here is that :

Q. Lord resides in my heart. I chant his name and perform
various rituals stated by him. Then why don’t I feel like
renouncing this world and walking on his path like Sita ?
