KAIKEYI SUCCUMBS

RAMAYANA

The king was perplexed. He went round and looked in vain for her in all her favourite haunts thinking that she was playing a sweet game of hide and seek. He did not find her. 

The sort of thing had never happened before! He asked a maidservant where the Queen  was.  Folding her hands in reverence, the girl said: "Lord, the Queen in angry.  She is in the inner chamber."

The surprised King entered the room. And he saw a sight which amazed and distressed him, for there she lay on the bare floor, with draggled robes  and dishevelled hair, like one in mortal pain. She seemed too full of anguish even  to look at him as he entered. 

The poor guileless King, all unconscious of having given any cause for offence, behaved with the doting fondness of an old husband and seating himself by her on the floor  stroked her hair and strove to console her with loving words and caresses:

"What has come over you?  Are you ill? Do you feel any pain? Have I not the best doctors in the land? I shall send for them at once. They can cure any malady. Do not be afraid."

Kaikeyi sighed heavily,but would not speak

The King proceeded "Was any one in the palace guilty of discourteous behavior? Tell me and  I  shall punish him. Did anyone slight you or was there any thing you wanted which I neglected to give you? Tell me." 

In this way, he mentioned faults that might have occurred in the running of a big house and asked her what the matter was and why she was upset. Kaikeyi paid no attention to his questions and was mute like one possessed.

He who is regulated in his habits of eating, sleeping, recreation and work can mitigate all material pains by practicing the yoga system.

6-18

When the Yogi , by practice of yoga, disciplines his mental activities and becomes situated in transcendence--devoid  of all material desires--he is said to be well established in yoga. 

6-19

As a lamp in a windless place does not waver, so the transcendentalist, whose mind  controlled, remains always steady in his meditation on the transcendent self.

6-20-23

In the stage of perfection called trance, or samadhi, one's mind is completely restrained from material mental activities by practice of yoga. This perfection is characterized by one's ability to see the self by the pure mind and to relish and rejoice in the self. In that joyous  state,  one is situated in boundless transcendental happiness, realized through transcendental senses. Established thus, one never departs from the truth, and upon gaining this he thinks there is no greater gain. Being situated in such a position, One is never shaken, even in the midst of greatest difficulty.  This indeed is actual freedom from all miseries arising from material contact.

అదే అన్ని అవతారాలకూ మూలవిరా ట్టయిన ఆదినారాయణుని దేదీప్యమానమైన దివ్యరూపం. ఆదివ్యరూపాన్ని మహాత్ములైనయోగీంద్రులు సందర్శిస్తారు. శ్రీమన్నారాయణ దేవుని నాభికమలం నుంచి సృష్టికర్తలలో ఆద్యుడైన బ్రహ్మ దేవుడు ఉద్భవించాడు. శ్రీవారి అవయవ స్థానాలనుంచి సమస్తలోకాలూ ఆవిర్భవించాయి.
