The Ramayana, at the center of which we find Lord Rama, the seventh Avatara of Vishnu, and Mata Sita, the Divine Mother in her gracious aspect of goddess Lakshmi, is essentially a story of love rather than of war.
The epics reveal to us the road that man must take in his evolutionary journey. It is conjured in that one word, dharma which has fascinated the Indian mind since the Aryan forefathers moved through the mountains and plains and rivers flowing through the subcontinent we know today as India.
... each species must follow its own law of evolution. While evolution in animals is largely an unconscious process driven by instincts, the law of man is to choose and grow conscious.
... whatever be the place we occupy or the work given to us, let us do it with the spirit of service and dedication to the Divine, with the trust that all will be well and with a prayer for the good of all mankind. That things will change for the better is inevitable. It is embedded in the logic of creation.
It is said that when the two join then there will be a new Satyuga upon earth, which is clearly a symbol of man uniting with God which will usher in an age of everlasting Truth and Harmony and Beauty and Delight.
... wherever one may, even far far away on the other side of the earth one can come in active contact with the Mother since Her Presence is everywhere.
It appears that most Indians still regard saintliness and other-worldliness as the real signs of spiritual man. Even men of action revere the anchorite and the renunciate even though they hardly emulate him.
The faith and intuition embedded within man is bound to take over our current paradigms leading to the emergence of a new and higher species or sub-species out of man, less burdened with animality and beginning to show the torch of divinity hidden within his cloak of a dense, obscure body.
