In plain words
‘Do I have a wish of my own, apart? Your wish alone is my wish. I have no wish of my own. What wrong have I done? You tell me to build it where I like,’ and crying ‘Rāma!’ he sat holding his head. Sītā saw this grief. ‘Lakṣmaṇa! Why are you weeping so much? What did your brother say? He did not scold you or strike you at all, did He? What is the root cause of your weeping like this?’ ‘Mother! Even if He strikes me, it is only happiness to me. Even if He scolds me, it is only happiness to me. But separation I cannot bear. Rāma's wish alone is my wish. And so He spoke of ‘my wish’. What greater separation than this could there be for me? I cannot bear the sorrow of this separation,’ he said. Do you see! Divinity that lives in such oneness is this deep. We must not be far from God even for a moment. Your feelings must not run against God's feelings. Your resolves must not be apart from God's resolves. They must be one. This world may be here today and gone tomorrow. All these are only passing clouds. But the bond of Nara and Nārāyaṇa, the original and its reflection, is one that never moves. It is eternal. It is real. It is everlasting. This is what the Veda has gone on telling.
Beyond the guṇas, stainless, eternal, the abode, ever pure, awakened, free, of stainless form.
Gāyatrī is the Mother Goddess Herself, the root and support of all the Vedas. Gāyatrī is the Mother of the metres! The Mother of metre is Gāyatrī. In this, people offer Gāyatrī three kinds of prayer. One is description, the second is prayer, the third is dhyāna. We must enquire this far into the oneness of these three. They describe Gāyatrī in nine kinds of description. Om bhūr bhuvaḥ suvaḥ tat savitur vareṇyaṃ bhargo devasya: this is description. Dhīmahi: this is dhyāna. Dhīyo yonaḥ pracodayāt: prayer. They are asking, ‘Grant me my Buddhi pure, sacred, steady and selfless.’ Description, prayer, dhyāna: first of all we must describe God. What kind of description should it be? O God! You are this great, You are that great. We must not describe Him that much. We must describe God with the right that says, ‘You are mine.’
