The search for Sita is symbolic of the secret of self-realisation, in the field of experience. Rama, when she was recovered, recovered the wisdom of self- realisation, now confirmed by experience. Jnana had become Anubhava-jnana. The Ramayana teaches that when a person is yearning for the precious goal of self- realisation, all the forces of Nature and all Creation will help him and render all assistance. Monkeys, bird, squirrels and even bounders and rocks were comrades in the task. Aim high, resolve on the supremest adventure – everything will be set right to lead you on, to the goal.

Be thankful to the Lord that He gave you Time, as well as action to fill it with. He gave you food, as well as hunger to relish it. But, that does not entitle you to engage yourself in action indiscriminately. When you build a house, you install a door in front. What is the purpose of the door? To admit all whom you welcome and to keep out all whom you do not want. It has a double purpose; you do not keep the doors wide open, for all and sundry to come in as and when they like. So too, select the impulses, the motives, the incentives that enter your mind; keep out the demeaning, the debasing, the deleterious. Admit the highest wisdom of the scriptures, the wisdom culled out of the crucible of experience, called anubhava-jnanam. (SSS Vol.4)
