salvation. But someday if these ignorant people criticize Jain
religion, then do not get carried away by their talks and leave
this great religion because you will never find any alternative
equivalent religion like Jainism. Also, your path of salvation
will also be hampered in absence of Jainism.”
This is an answer which makes Sitaji who she was, an answer
that we need to carve on our heart. These words of Sitaji
reflect her real love for her husband as well as Jainism, her
faith in the Karma theory and her courage to perceive every
phase of life positively. There was no room for accusations,
insults, sorrow or dejection in her life.
Her life teaches us to think, speak and act appropriately at
all times keeping only spiritual progress in mind.
After that Sita met King Varjrajangha who accepted her as
her sister. Staying at his palace, she delivered twins – Lavana
and Ankusha. Sita was so wise and matured that she did not
disclose the bitter truth to them till they were approx. 18-20
years old. She did not share her difficulties with them because
she considered them to be an outcome of her karmas and
hence there was no point in blaming and criticizing others for
it. Compare this point of view to our thought process. The
moment we face any problems we tell our problems or other’s
faults to one another. Thus, we spoil our own well-being.
We can become like Sita if we constantly keep the karma
theory and our soul’s safety in mind.
Sita herself never revealed the tough adversity. When her
sons got to know about the reality from outside they came
and confronted her saying, “Does our father think that Sitaji
has no one to protect her ? But her protectors are ready who
will now fight for her justice and show the world that Sita
has efficient protectors like us. Bless us so that we can attain
victory in war.”
