The Ram story has no limit

As the film reaches Hong Kong, Goswami Tulsidas’s words invite us to consider the countless ways in which the story of Shri Ram is told. In the Ramcharitmanas, he says:

जेहिं यह कथा सुनी नहिं होई। जनि आचरजु करै सुनि सोई॥ कथा अलौकिक सुनहिं जे ग्यानी। नहिं आचरजु करहिं अस जानी॥२॥ रामकथा कै मिति जग नाहीं। असि प्रतीति तिन्ह के मन माहीं॥ नाना भाँति राम अवतारा। रामायन सत कोटि अपारा॥३॥

Ramcharitmanas, Bal Kand, Doha 33, Chaupais 2 and 3

Whoever has not heard this story before should not be surprised on hearing it. The wise hear this wondrous story without surprise, knowing that the Ram story has no limit in the world. They hold this faith in their minds. Shri Ram has descended in many ways, and there are a hundred crore, countless Ramayanas.

The word मिति means limit. Goswami Tulsidas teaches us to receive the Ram story with this understanding. What we have already heard does not exhaust it. We can return to a familiar passage and give it fresh attention, allowing time to understand what it teaches.

Readers meeting the story through cinema can also open Valmiki Ramayana, composed by Maharshi Valmiki, and spend time with the scripture itself.

Today, read one chaupai slowly and sit for a minute remembering Shri Ram.
