confused when he sees so many stunning sights of the world. The Jiva is unable to
decide what is true and what is false. So it is best for him to maintain his calm and
leave everything in the hands of the Lord God whom he worships, because the Lord
knows the truth and what is best for the Jiva. This spares the Jiva from getting
tormented by a lot of problems that are avoidable. He is not subjected to unnecessary
restlessness and tensions.]‚ÃË ∑§¬≈È ¡ÊŸ©U ‚È⁄USflÊ◊Ë – ‚’Œ⁄U‚Ë ‚’ •¢Ã⁄U¡Ê◊ËH 3H

The Lord of the gods (“Sur-Swaamy”, i.e. Lord Ram) immediately came to know
about the deceit of Sati because he is all-knowing, and therefore knows the inner
thoughts of all (as he lives in the inner-self of everyone as the Atma, the Soul). (3)
Lord Ram is the “Bhagwan” (the Supreme God) by remembering whom all
ignorance and delusions are removed; he is the “Bhagwan” who is all-pervading and
omniscient. (4)
[Note—Refer: Ram Charit Manas, Ayodhya Kand, line no. 1 of Doha no. 257 along
with its preceding Chaupai line no. 8 where sage Vasistha has reiterated exactly the
same thing.
Even Lord Shiva has reiterated this sentiment in Ram Charit Manas, Aranya
Kand, Chaupai line nos. 1-4 that precede Doha no. 39.
We also find that when Sita has asked Lord Ram to go fetch the golden deer for
her, the Lord got up to run behind the illusive deer, knowing fully well that he was a
demon named Marich in disguise, that all this was destined to happen as a prelude for
Sita’s abduction by Ravana, and that nothing was surprising in it—refer: Ram Charit
Manas, Aranya Kand, Chaupai line no. 6 that precedes Doha no. 27.
Other similar reference is found in Ram Charit Manas, Aranya Kand, Chaupai
line no. 9 that precedes Doha no. 6 where sage Atri has honoured Lord Ram by
affirming that Lord Ram knows the inner thoughts of all as he is “Antaryaami’—one
who lives in the heart of all living beings.]

Look at the nature of a woman and the way it affects her thinking and behaviour that
even Sati (who is supposed to be of an immaculate character and wise as she is the
consort of Lord Shiva, the wisest of all the gods and the greatest devotee of Lord
Ram) had chosen to play a cunning trick with Lord Ram (who is the all-knowing Lord
of Gods)^1. (5)
Meanwhile, Lord Ram praised in his heart the wonderful strength that his
Maya (delusion-creating powers) has, and the magic it can play^2. So he smiled^3 and
said politely (to Sati)--- (6)
