Ramayana OF OUR LIVES
Ram which means 'the Inner radiance' was born in Ayodhya 'the place where there is no conflict'. He was son of Dusrath 'one who has control over 5senses and 5sense organs' and Kaushalya which means 'skill'. So when with skill 5senses and 5 sense organs are controlled Ram takes birth, Ram is felt, Ram is enjoyed.
Ravan who had ten heads denotes ten forms of distortion of love:
1. Love for social status: Arrogance
2. Love for past events: Regret
3. Love for future events: Fear
4. Love only for one's own family: Attachment
5. Love for perfection: Anger
6. Love for opposite gender only: Lust
7. Love for being no 1: Jealousy
8. Love for looking good: Hatred
9. Love for …. : Laziness
10. Love for objects / progeny / fame
When all this are conquered then Vijayadashmi is celebrated which is Love for Self !!
Seeta which means 'Mind' got trapped by Love for glamour the Deer, hence it crossed the Lakshman Rekha. Thereafter she was caught by Ravan and this happened only in absence of Ram and Lakshman, lashman means Awareness. So when there is lack of awareness the mind is caught by distortion of Love.
Lakshman got fainted in battle and could only be awakened only when Hanuman the Pavan Putra which means the Son of Air that is our Breath got Sanjeevni Booti that is our Sudarshan Kriya :-)
GIST: Seeta could be separated from Ravan and reunited with Ram with the help of Lakshman and Hanuman : Awareness with the help of Sudarshan Kriya can only free the mind from various forms of distortions of Love and reunite it with the Self.
MAHABHARATA OF OUR LIVES
1. Karna represents mind
2. Bheeshma Pitamaha represents intellect
3. Dronacharya represents memory
4. Duryodhana represents ego
To win over the mind, take off the kavacha kundala (since desires come either from seeing or hearing). To win over intellect, the 79 distortions of intellect need to be removed and intellect should become unconditional (hence the 79 arrows that Bheeshma was lying on). Bheeshma had taken a vow to protect Hastinapura (the body). To win over memory, a lie had to be told (Aswatthama). Once these three are won over, the ego is weakened and can be easily won over: Duryodhana simply needed to be hit on the thigh.
Q: How to control restlessness of soul?
A: There are 4 types of restlessness:
1. Restlessness of Environment
2. Restlessness of Body
3. Restlessness of Mind
4. Restlessness of Emotions
5. Restlessness of Soul
Restlessness of Soul can be only controlled when first four are in control. And first four can be controlled only through Adhyatma and Ayurveda.
