Thought for the 'Day

Gandhiji dreamt of Rama-rajya; he wanted that people must live like the subjects of Rama in Ayodhya. Dharmamust be surging from the heart as the cool energising water of prema and shanti (love and peace). You can learn what exactly Dharma is from the Ramayana. Rama is the very embodiment of Dharma; every word and every deed is resonant with this message. Lakshmana, the brother of Rama, who followed His footsteps throughout his earthly career, is the symbol of the Mind walking on the footprints of Dharma; he never lost his way and triumphed in the lap of victory. The Ramayana is a text-book for Dharma to be lived out in every home, by the father, the mother, the son, the brother, the members of a joint family - both men and women. The brotherhood one has to cultivate is the readiness to give love for love, heart for heart, and life for life!
