Ramayana Quotes

“स्वार्थ ही यदि होगा आधार, होंगे बहुविवाह व व्यभिचार, कैकेयी का होगा उद्भव, षड़यंत्र तब लेंगे आकार, विमाता से ममता का, उतरेगा यदि आवरण, राम को वनवास तथा, दशरथ का होगा मरण।”

“Sage Yajanvalkya's advice to King Janaka: "When everything in the world fails to support you, and when nobody is around to speak to you, you must depend on the illumination that comes from within. Only then will you realize that your Self is your light and your Self your strength, and that there is nothing except your Self when everything else in the world fails.”

One’s agony is assuaged to some extent even by speaking of it, but to whom shall I speak about it? For there is no one who will understand. The reality about the chord of love that binds you and me, dear, is known to my heart alone; and my heart ever abides with you. Know this to be the essence of my love.”

“प्रेम यदि निस्वार्थ हो, सीता तभी संग होगी, पूर्ण निष्ठा समर्पण से ही, ये धनु भंग होगी। संभवतः यह पवित्र प्रेम की उसी शक्ति की पराकाष्ठा थी, जिसने श्रीराम को पाँच दिवस में महासागर पर सेतु बांधने का सामर्थ्य दिया था अथवा आज फिर वही संकल्प-शक्ति प्रकट हो गयी थी, जिसने युगों पहले रघुवंशियों को अजेय बना दिया था।”
