The Ramcharitmanas and the Bhagwadgita.
The Ramcharitmanas and the Bhagwadgita-
The two together constitutes the treasury of knowledge, wisdom, devotion and many more that I can't even visualise.
Imbibing the two provides one with a valid ticket to the journey of THIS WORLD which is full of trials and tribulations.
Not only that; If life after death is a fact not fiction, it serves as a passport to the safe travel to THAT WORLD also.
I unmistakeably believe that so long as the Ramcharitmanas and the Bhagwadgita will continue to inform our lives we shall always be able to navigate ourselves to emerge out of the quagmire which, generally speaking, is more or less creation of our own.
***********************************************Whether it is knowledge or wisdom or devotion or understanding or whatever you seek out of it; both are equally great.
However some hold that while The Ramcharitmanas suits those very well who are less accomplished academically.
The Manas equips them with the "Bhakti" which needs no qualification whatsoever while the Bhagwadgita is the forte of the learned ones who are seeker of truth, wisdom and knowledge of higher order.
But the above distinction is specious to say the least. There is everything in the two for all the seekers whether driven by the urge for भक्ति or ज्ञान. The true seeker ultimately finds that persuing ONE readily results in the accomplishment of the OTHER.
*********************************************** Personally for me, if I am to choose between the two I will try to escape the scene.
I am asking you what will be your response if you are told to choose between your mother and father?
Ever since my parents left me for heavenly abode,I hold the Ramcharitmanas as my Mother and the Bhagwadgita- my Father.
In case of any difficulty or problem I look with hope for a help only to this adopted parents of mine.
Ever since the demise of my eldest brother this date last month my dependency upon this adopted parents has increased even more than what it happened to be in the past.
