Students! Even Rama who had established Rama Rajya on one historic occasion had to leave world and pass away. Everything has to pass away some day. Nothing is going to remain permanently in the world. Even the Rama Rajya had to disappear and change. Everything changes with time and nothing remains unchanged. Even Harishchandra who was an ardent adherent of truth at all times, had to pass away from this world. Nala who ruled all over the world had to pass away. Could he take even a small bit of land with him when he passed away.
Rama built a big bridge over the ocean. Do we see Rama alive? Many people have ruled over this land, but could any one of them take away a small portion of the land? The only thing which you can take and which you should take is the permanent grace of the Lord. A good name is all that you should aspire for during your life.
Although Rama gave up his mortal body, yet if we talk about Rama, so many years later in this Yuga, obviously the good that Rama had done is responsible for this.
We should earn a good name and we should do good. We should lead a good life. We should do good to others. This is the ideal which we have to hand over to the rest of the world. (SSB 1977, p. 83)
