sage Balmiki

Jai Sri Ram
Lord reached at the ashram of sage Balmiki, Balmiki- the legend of austerity and penance, Rama fell prostrate before the sage and the holy Brahman blessed him in return.

The sight of Sri Rama’s beauty gladdened his eyes and with due honor he look the lord into hermitage, finding the gust as dear as him as his life. Great was the joy of sage’s heart as he beholds with his eyes Sri Rama, who bliss personified.

Lord spoke to sage with all delightful words, that you directly perceive the past present and the future in the garb of time; lord relates to him the whole story as to how he had exiled into woods. Compliance with my father’s commands, gratification of my stepmother, the installation of brother like bharat to the throne and my seeing you-all this, my lord, is result of my meritorious acts.

In beholding your feet, O king of sages, all my good deeds have been rewarded, now I wants to go wherever you commands me to go and where no anchorite to hermits and ascetics are consumed without fire. While satisfaction of Brahmans is the root of happiness and their wrath consumes millions of generation; bearing this in mind please guide me.

O Lord Rama quite so right you are, why should you not speak thus, ever busy in maintain the law laid down by the Vedas.

While you are custodian of Vedic law, the lord of universe, sita is your maya, divine energy, who crates, sustain and dissolves the universe on your wish and will, heaving assumed of form of a king for the sake of the gods are out to crush the host of wicked.

O Rama, you being beyond the range of speech and conception,
O Rama, unknown and unutterable and infinite
O Rama, beyond the reach of even Vedas which ever speaks of it as not that, not that.
O Rama, conformer of the heart of devotees
O Rama, delighter of Raghu’s
O Rama, gracious lord of this universe

You ask me where I take up my residence, but I ask you with difference tell me first the place where you are not.

Sage spoke him again in words sweet within himself, listen Rama I tell you now the places where you abide

You should dwell in the heart of him whose swan like tongue picks up pearls in the shape of your virtues in the holy lake of your name.

Abide in the mind of those whose nose devoutly inhales every day the fragrance of the sacred and lovely offerings

Abide in those who have no lust, anger, arrogance, pride or infatuation are free from greed, excitement attraction aversion and free from tricky modes to cheat others, hypocrisy and deceit.

Abide in those who rejoice t see welfare of others and grieved to see other’s distress and to whom you are dear as their own life.

Lastly who wants nothing at any moment and bear natural affinity to you-incessantly dwell in the mind; for that is your own home?

O Rama please makes your abode in Chitra-Koot hill there you will have comfort of all kinds, it has a holy river glorified in the puranas, it is side stream of sri Ganga ji.

Then sage elaborates the glory of chitra koot, which is infinite in self.

May lord bless all.

Thanks please
