Hidden Meaning

Nobody wants loss but it still occurs; nobody wants death, but it is inevitable and beyond man's choice. Same is the case with achieving fame or recognition. If we study this verse carefully, then the hidden meaning of Ramcharitmanas is understood. To whom did the loss occur? To the people of Ayodhya from where Lord Rama was exiled. And who gained? Those saints and sages who were meditating in the woods, those who were meditating in the caves and waiting for the darshan of the Lord. Also Bhilni, who used to sweep the path daily waiting for the Lord. When and how did the Lord oblige her? As a rule, devotees eat the `prasad' given by God but in case of Bhilni, Lord Rama ate fruit which she had already tasted.
