Rama cries when he is exiled, and later when, separated from Sita and Lakshman. -Guru Nanak Sahib, Guru Granth Sahib, 954
Message: The quote here refers to the famous legend of Ramayana. Sri Rama was exiled for fourteen years. His wife Sita and his brother Lakshman accompanied him. The quote points to three occasions when Sri Rama cried.
He wept when:
- he was sent into exile
- his wife Sita was kidnapped by Ravan
- his brother Lakshman was injured and fainted.
Suffering is integral to life on this earth. Everyone passes through times when helplessness, desperation, losses, etc. overtake and engulf to an extent which makes one cry in grief. However, unwavering faith and acceptance of the Divine can alleviate our suffering
