Spiritual significance of Ramayana

It is said that the Ramayana is happening in your own body.

Your soul is Rama,
your mind is Sita,
your breath or life-force is Hanuman,
your awareness is Laxmana and
your ego is Ravana.

When Sita (mind) was stolen by Ravana (Ego) then
Rama (soul) got restless.
Now the soul (Rama) cannot reach the mind (Sita) on its own,
it has to take the help of the breath (Hanuman) - the prana.
With the help of the prana (Hanuman) the mind (Sita) got reunited with the soul (Rama), and
the ego (Ravana) vanished.

This is the spiritual significance of the story.

Attachment in Detachment ----- Written by Sudha Murti

🔹🔸🔹🔸🔹🔸 When my daughter, the older of my two, wed and left home, I felt a part of me gone. With a daughter and a son, I know what both mean, differently. When she was in her teens I felt as if she was my "physical extension" ! So when she left home to set up her own, I felt I lost a limb. Next time she came to stay with us, I was astonished how her priorities had changed. We too must've given the same shocks to our own parents ! When she said Amma, she meant her mother-in-law, not me! I felt she was always in a hurry to go back to her house and not stay with me for a few more days. That was the first time, it dawned on me that I have to start practising detachment with attachment. Two years after my daughter’s marriage, my son left for higher studies to US. Having experienced a child's separation once, I was better equipped emotionally. I plunged head long into various classes held i...

Master Choa Kok Sui - When I Leave Do I Leave?

(Master Choa Kok Sui's Conversation with a Disciple) It was a time, when my Spiritual Teacher, Master Choa Kok Sui, the one I have loved most and followed in this lifetime, took in some of the negative karma of his disciples unto his body. I saw him then as a man whose weight of the world was heavy on his shoulder. I was afraid for him and my heart was listless. As usual, that afternoon, he walked and as usual I followed one step behind him. "What is bothering you?" he asked me. I dare not ask the question, but he prodded me. I then asked "When you leave Master, what will become of me?" He took a deep pause, and rephrased my question. "When I leave, do I leave?" He noticed tears are about to swell in my eyes. "Take heart. Pull back your tears," he reproached me gently. "Look at me." You cry and your heart is heavy for you think I will leave you? I will never leave you. We have a covenant to serve together. Do you ...
