The Liberation of Sita

by Volga

‘I’ve realized that the meaning of success for a woman does not lie in her relationship with a man. Only after that realization, did I find this man’s companionship.’

‘Each one to their own truth. Does anyone in this world have the power to decide between truth and untruth?’

‘Truth does not remain the same forever but keeps changing continuously—that is the wisdom I earned.’

Wouldn’t accepting her in trust or rejecting her in distrust be better? What should be done now? Sita’s heart was like a volcano.

Conquering the ego becomes the goal of spirituality for men. For women, to nourish that ego and to burn themselves to ashes in it becomes the goal.

‘Sita, shall I tell you what the truth is in my case?’ ‘Don’t, sister. It’s all the same. It has no meaning.’

By refusing to bow down to external authority, Sita had fully experienced, for the first time, the inner power of self-authority.

I don’t know whether those battles resulted in peace or not. But the war I waged with these questions has brought me peace and joy.’

how much he respects it.

‘Will those who consider my fourteen-year-long meditation in search of truth mere sleep understand my words?

You will be yourself. It’s not easy to remain ourselves—trust me, Akka!’

What was more enjoyable—loving Rama or being angry with him? Her mind oscillated endlessly in this dilemma.

Rama and that she would never return, the sun would still rise, the birds would sing, the flowers would bloom. That is the law of nature.

Who knew that Sita was Sri Rama’s protective charm?
