Sage Jhabaali’s Counsel
Bharatha was not telling anything, one of the priests who was present there named Jhabaali with the good intention of doing good for Rama , superficially he counseled the Religion of Saarvagar(Aethists). “ Rama ! you are a person with Large hearted Manam{ Chitha(Memory)+Inner Conscience Mind +Intellect(Bhuddhi) + forgiving Ego};best and Noblest Intellect; .’ Like ordinary folks saying those words which do not benefit, does not adorn your intellect. Who is Whose Relation? Who is going to benefit by which means? If you think deeply there in nothing but Void only. Every Creature is born alone; dies alone. Hence a person one who showers Love as Father, Mother on his parents is only Mad. What is the benefit one derives from the other person? Like a person who wants to go to a new place stays in a place overnight and then leaves that place and goes to another place. Like wise Mother, Father House etc are like the Place man just stayed overnight. Intellectuals will not misplace their affection on these. Like a person who is halting in a Hotel/Motel/Relaxing place does he have any worry about the building of the Hotel/ Motel? Likewise we should remember our parents as long as they are staying with us and they are alive. After separating from them our remembering them is a waste. Will any one waste his energy to make them happy?.
Your Father’s Kingdom should have come to you. You have discarded it; Will any one in his right mind will adopt an unsavoury path for oneself at the Young age , full of unhappiness, against the Doctrines of Sashtraas adopt the Vaanaprastha which is meant for Old age after having enjoyed all comforts Luxuires joy with Children, Grand Children? A lady when her dear husband who has gone on tour , without dressing herself properly in shabby clothes and keeping herself unclean full of unhappiness; similarly Ayodhya city is an unmentionable state of sorrow and is anticipating anxiously your arrival without knowing when it would be; so you please go to Ayodhya and perform your coronation immediately. Please enjoy all the Luxuries, Comforts, Fun Frolic, Joy of all that a King experiences like Devendra(God of Celstials) enjoys in the Heaven , rule this Kingdom. Who is Dasaratha to you? Who are you to him?, What is the reason you call him your Father? He is different, You are different, so do what I say. Father is the creator of every Living being is completely incorrect.During conjugal happiness the Sperms(shukla)/ (Shonihas) in ovaries which emanate in the Male/Femlae bodies respectively are responsible and are the root cause one can say. The form of Dasratha according to the Dharma has gone and merged with it’s respective elements. This is the destiny of all the creatures. You are unnecessarily repenting that you and Dasaratha have a Relationship due to Agyaanam(ignorance and partial in yours affection for him).
Instead of making efforts to enjoying the Visible Luxuries and Comforts we should accumulate Wealth, earn Dharma for future enjoyment after Life , seeing their plight my sorrows know no bounds for them. For them this world is full of Miseries always;after leaving this world also it is Kasht(Agony, purgatory, discomfort, trouble,hardhip, suffering, harassment, annoyance, travail). Earning Dharma is a waste, let me give you an example. People perform Ashtak Srardham and Samavathsara (Anniversary) Srardha(Rememeberance); the food used in that is fully waste is it not? Has any one seen the Dead person eating it? If one person eats the food and can satisfy another person, if this is true, when some one known to us has gone out of station,if we do sraardham for them then their Hunger thirst should go away , and they should be satisfied isn’t it?. Who are these people who gave the following Doctrines (Saashtras): ‘Do Yaaga(Offerings to Celestials in the Sacrifical Fire Pits reciting Vedas and the Verses invoking the respective Dieties) ;offer Dhaanam (Charity); Do penance by controlling your senses, Do prayers to Celestials; do not have excessive affection for your Family or desire for wealth’? Some sharp intelligent persons have made these Saashtras (Doctrines) by deceiving others to usurp/ syphon their wealth, these rules have been formulated ; so those fools who believe in these come and fall/Lured into the Net voluntarily .
You are a great Intelligent man, of all you believing the existence of another world is really a surprise.There is no External world. How will your Logic hold good that by your adhering to PithruVaakhya paripalanam (Implementing and Fulfilling Father’s words) it will do special good to your father and yourself in the External World ? What is the destination for our senses that alone is true. Please believe that only; The reality of this Kingdom, the Sukham(Comfort, Luxury, Joy, Fun,Cheer, Love, Affection and fulfilled Desires) you will derive and Authority and untold Plesures can be felt and enjoyed ; so grab them. Do not even turn back to the illusory Heaven, Hell, Sin, Punyam ( Good fortune accrued from Past or being accumulated for future by Virtuous Dharma/good deeds/conduct). The percepts I am telling you should be acceptable to one and all in this world. You also accept and concede to Bharatha’s prayers and take charge of the Kingdom’thus he propagated Aethist’s relgion.(Slokas19).
