In plain words
Not everyone who has taken on a form is a vyakti. It has been said that only those who demonstrate a divinity that lies unmanifest and firm are vyaktis. That is why Rāma, living as a vyakti, demonstrated the divine power within him and demonstrated that sacred ideal. He practised it as an ideal. So, about the principle of Rāma, it was said that the Rāmāyaṇa will endure as long as mountains and rivers remain. Since it is Brahmā's word, is the Rāmāyaṇa something connected with mountains and rivers? No, no. Brahmā's meaning was not like that. Mountain means man. Rivers mean women. As long as women and men remain, the Rāmāyaṇa will endure. That is why this world cannot exist without women and men. That is why it cannot exist without the Rāmāyaṇa. We must acquire the strength and capacity fit to grasp this principle of Rāma, so lasting, true and eternal. So, however many secrets lie in it, the people of Bhārata themselves, unable to recognise this secret, are wasting their time in baseness through a dharma that is physical, worldly and bound to nature. Today, thinking of it as the day Rāma was born, what are we doing? That day a special pūjā, that day putting a mark on the forehead: must a birthday come for us to put on this mark and do a special pūjā? No, no. Whatever the age, we must think of Rāma daily, always, at every time, everywhere.
The young must take in the ideal of Lava and Kuśa
Vālmīki wrote the Rāmāyaṇa. After writing it, he called all his disciples. “Who will proclaim this meaningful, divine, noble and sacred story of Rāma from street to street and from house to house?” he kept asking. All the disciples were downcast. “Gurujī! Our years have ripened. Our span of life is full.
