You can attain Rama only through
sacrifice. From the Ramayan, you have to learn the lesson of sacrifice.
You have to install the principle of Rama in your heart. Rama practised
Sathya and Dharma all his life. You should firmly adhere to these principle
in your life.

Hanuman is present wherever Rama's
name is chanted. Rama's name and form are not different. Hanuman experienced
this unity. This is the principle of non dualism. You call yourself devotees
of Rama and go through the sacred text of Ramayana repeatedly, but is there
any transformation in your mind ? Not at all. This is not true or real
devotion, but only a show of devotion.

God is present in each and every
cell of human body in the form of 'Angeerasa' and it is He who protects
and sustains human life. Man is therefore deeply indebted to God who vibrates
in every limb of his body in the form of Divine Energy. The only way man
can clear his debt is by undertaking sacred actions and by working for
the welfare of fellow human beings. That is why path of service has been
prescribed for man to clear his debt to God.

There is much more to Ramayana than
Rama going to the forest, annihilating Ravana and ultimately being crowned
as the king of Ayodhya. He incarnated in order to establish Dharma. What
is Dharma ? It is that which delights your heart. When man takes to unrighteous
means, his conscience will not approve of his acts since every man is the
embodiment of Dharma. He is born to practise Dharma.

Today you are celebrating Sri Rama's
birthday. No benefit accrues from celebrating the birthdays of noble personalities
unless you put their teachings into practise. It is said, " Ramo Vigrahan
Dharma"(Rama is the embodiment of Dharma). His speech was suffused
with truth and His conduct radiated peace. Can there be a greater ideal
than this ? All names and forms are His and He is the embodiment of Truth,
Awareness and Bliss.
