Whatever happens, never give up the virtuous path. When Hanuman saw Mother Sita in the Ashoka Vana at Lanka, he saw her forlorn and helpless in the midst of her captors, surrounded by ogresses. He experienced overpowering agony seeing her, and so proposed to her, "Mother, I cannot bear your suffering. I shall take you on my shoulder, leaping across the sea, and restore you to Lord Rama". But listen to Mother Sita’s response! Despite untenable suffering, she resisted temptation to escape from captivity and reunite with her Lord. She stuck to Dharma and explained, "I should not, out of my own will, touch any male other than my Lord. If you carry me now, you will perform the same act for which Ravana is condemned. It will detract the glory that awaits my Lord, who will certainly liberate me by the prowess of His arm." End results can never justify the means. Means are just as important as the goal; both must be noble!
