If the country is to prosper, then the ideals of the great souls must be followed explicitly. It is by following the sages of yore that our country has been able to survive at least in this state till now. The great ones gain nothing out of this. What was the reason for Sage Vashistha to reside in the palace of Dasharatha? He did not need the riches, mansions and gold of the Emperor. Sita too told Hanuman the same. She said: ‘Hanuman! It is not possible to satisfy you with wealth, gold, mansions and other such items. Even if I were to bring the three worlds and give it to you, I will not be able to repay my debt. You are such a great renunciate and devotee. Because of these two qualities, you can go around all the three worlds. Because of your travels, all the three worlds will be secure and prosperous.’ (SSB 1996, p. 104)
