But as we read ahead, Sita did not bless them. Instead she
scolded them for saying that it is inappropriate to even think
about fighting with their father. They should go and seek his
blessings and she would readily permit them for this task.

Thus, Sitaji’s SthitaPragyata and right understanding is evident
from all such instances. After she married Ramchandraji, she
had fixed this in her mind that ‘My life is dedicated in his
feet.’ Amidst all ups and downs, she firmly stood by her
resolution and kept her respect for her husband intact. Isn’t
this amazing ? Even after being thrown away into the forest
by her husband, there was no difference in her attitude and
understanding. She behaved as if she had never faced any
problem from her husband. In our life, many a times we
have little problems with our relatives because of which we
completely avoid contact with them. We also harbour negative
thoughts and irritation towards them. But it was Sita’s nobility
because of which she never harboured any animosity or hatred
for him. Why ? Because she not only respected her husband
but worshipped him. Also, her husband’s various qualities and
virtues constantly enveloped her mind. There was no place
for any negativity in her mind for Rama.

Q. How to think positively about everyone ?

A. The path of positivity includes focusing on the good
qualities and virtues of even our opponents.
This is the only birth to envelop our mind with such positivity.
Great men and women have also cultivated such royalty and
become great. If I wish to become great, this is the only
solution.
