RAMAYANA REVELATION DAY 8
KEIKEYI: Mother of Bharat Maharaj. An Important Step Mother
# Keikeyi was a very powerful queen of Maharaj Dasrath.
# In a terrible fight with Sambarasura, an arrow hit a slot on his chariot wheel and chariot began to wobble, Keikeyi, stooped and inserted her finger into the slot to keep the wheel coming off. The entire weight of the chariot rested on the brave queen’s fragile finger. Dasrath’s eyes welled up with tears at the sight of his wife enduring excruciating pain just to save him. Because of this act of Keikeyi, Dasrath could win the war.
# If service is like a flower and genuine service attitude is like fragrance, then gratitude is like a bee that hovers over it.
# Relationships thrive when genuine service is acknowledged by active gratitude. Keikeyi was happy to serve and Dasrath was grateful to receive. She provided assistance and he gave appreciation.
# It is said that Keikeyi was such a pure devotee of Lord Rama that she even agreed to leave her dignity. She agreed to be an instrument in the sequence of events which led to Lord Rama's exile and bring disrespect to her.
# A wonderful example of service where Queen Keikeyi sacrificed her respect and dignity for Lord’s service.
# When Manthra gave the news of Lord Rama's Abhishek to Keikeyi, she was unable to contain her joy, she and rushed toward Manthra , “ O Manthara, thank you! This is the best news I have received in my entire life! Rama is going to become the king of Ayodhya! This is nectar to my ears! Thank you Manthra once again. You have filled my life with immense pleasure." . She had such a pure mind at this time that she saw no difference between Rama and Bharat.
# The tragedy of Kaikeyi lies in the rejection of her awesome sacrifice by the very person for whom she went through fire: her son Bharata.
# But Manthra was able to manipulate her by giving many arguments. We should be very careful of our association, good association can take us on a beautiful path on the other hand bad association is powerful enough to drag us to hell. The poison of distrust had been injected, which changed Keikeyi’s loyalty toward Dasaratha. Dasratha had come to Keikeyi seeking happiness and peace. But Keikeyi could only think about her own happiness as the result of her discussions with Manthra.
# When a crooked mind comes between two people, love becomes hatred and simplicity becomes duplicity. Keikeyi allowed Manthra, whose mind was more crooked then her body, to come between her husband and herself and thus permanently twist their relationship.

MORAL: Crookedness of the body is not as bad as the crookedness of the mind
