Then, Bharata with folded hands, replied as follows to Kausalya

who was encircled by afflictions and weeping as aforesaid in

many ways: “O, noble woman! Why do you reproach me, sinless
as I am, for those things that I do not know anything? Nay, you
know well of the greatest affection I have for Rama. May the mind
of the one who in any way whatsoever allowed for the departure
of my elder brother the best of men who keeps up his promise, be
closed to all the seriptures. May he who counseled the
banishment of my noble brother become the slave of the vilest
scoundrels, may he answer the calls of nature in the face of the
sun and may he kick with his foot, a sleeping cow. With whose
counsel my elder brother went to exile, to him let that sin incur, as
to a master who imposes the heaviest labour on his servant
without remunerating him. With whose counsel my elder brother
has gone to exile, to him let that sin incur as to those who seek to
harm a king who protects his people as if they are his own
children. May the guilt of a king, who taking the sixth part of the
revenue of his people fails to protect them, be fallen on them with
whose counsel my elder brother went to exile. May the sin of
those having given the promise for certain sacrificial fees to
priests in a sacrifice, breaks that promise, to be his with whose
counsel my elder brother went to exile. May the sin of him, who
fails to observe the code of warfare followed by the virtuous in a
battle abundantly provided with elephants horses chariots
weapons and men, be his with whose counsel my elder brother
went to exile. May that perverse wretch, with whose counsel my
elder brother has gone to exile, forget the subtle meanings of the
scriptures taught with care by a wise teacher. May he with whose
counsel my elder brother has gone to exile, never behold that
Rama having large arms and broad shoulders radiant as the sun
and the moon and seated as he will be on a throne. May that
pitiless one with whose counsel my elder brother has gone to
exile, incur the sin of partaking milk boiled with rice and sugar a
cooked mixture of rice and peas with a few species and a goat
flesh without offering them to the gods and be lacking in
reverence towards teachers. May he with whose counsel my elder
brother has gone to exile, incur the sins of kicking the cows, of
personally abusing the elders and of deceiving a friend too much.
May that perverse wretch with whose counsel my elder brother
has gone to exile incur the sin of divulging a little abusing words
about others spoken occasionally in secret and in confidence, to
him. May he with whose counsel my elder brother has gone to
exile, become a non doer, an ungrateful person; a desperate man,
the one who has abandoned shame and the one who is worthy of
hate. May he with whose counsel my elder brother has gone to
exile, incur the sin of eating delicious food for himself alone when
he is surrounded by his sons , wife and servants in his house.
May he with whose counsel my elder brother has departed; die
issueless, failing to secure a wife suitable for him and thus not
fulfilling his religious duties. May he with whose counsel my elder
brother has departed, not see a child through his wife and in
distress, may not get a full long life. That sin which was
proclaimed in killing a king a woman, a child or an aged person or
in abandoning one’s dependents let him (with whose counsel my
elder brother has gone to exile) obtain the same sin. May he with
whose counsel my elder brother has gone to exile, obtain, the sin
of nurturing his wife children and other dependents through sale
of lacquer, liquor, flesh, iron or poison. May he with whose
counsel my elder brother has gone to exile, obtain the sin of being
killed while fleeing, at a time when a battle inspiring fear upon
enemy’s side has commanded. May he with whose counsel my
elder brother has gone to exile, wander about the world, as a mad
man with a wooden bowl in his hand, dressed in rags and begging
for alms. May he with whose counsel my elder brother has
departed, be given over to infatuation and anger and be
constantly involved in wine women and dice. May the mind of
man with whose counsel my elder brother has gone to exile,
never take delight in righteousness? Let him indulge in un
righteousness and become a distributor of gifts for the
undeserving. With whose counsel , my elder brother has gone to
exile, let his various kinds of riches got accumulated in
thousands , be snatched away by robbers. That sin which was
proclaimed on him who sleeps during both the twilights, let that
sin be obtained by him, with whose counsel my elder brother has
gone to exile. Let him obtains that sin, which attaches to a man
who practices arson, to a man who violets his teacher’s bed and
to a man who cheats his friend. May he, with whose counsel my
elder brother has gone to exile, incur that sin of not doing service
to be god, to the manes and likewise to his mother and father.
May he with whose counsel my elder brother has gone to exile,
forfeit soon and now from the region obtained by virtuous man,
forfeit the illustriousness enjoyed by good men and the righteous
actions. May he with whose counsel, that long armed and broad
chested elder brother has gone to exile, fail to give due reverence
to his mother and be condemned to idleness. May he with whose
counsel my elder brother has gone to exile, possess many
dependents be without resources, be undermined with fever and
disease and be forever in distress. May he with whose counsel
my elder brother has gone to exile, incur the sin of falsifying the
hopes of highly miserable destitute, who having their eyes looking
up seek for alms. May he with whose counsel my elder brother
has gone to exile, incur the sin of staying in fear of the king
forever as a cunning man, a cruel man, a back biter, a dishonest
man and an unrighteous man. May the evil minded man, with
whose counsel my elder brother has gone to exile, incur the sin of
ignoring his chaste wife, who having bathed after her course of
menstruation. approaches him for union having regard for the
season favorable for procreation. May that stupid with whose
counsel my elder brother has gone to exile, incur the sin of
courting the consort of another disdaining his lawful wife and
having forsaken his love for piety. May he, with whose counsel my
elder brother has gone to exile, incur that sin, which is obtained
by a Brahmana who is issue less. May he with whose counsel my
elder brother has gone to exile, incur the sin that is attached to a
person polluting the drinking water and likewise to a person who
administers poison. May he with whose counsel my elder brother
has gone to exile, incur the sin attached to a person disturbing the
worship going to be offered to a Brahmana (by another) and to
milking a cow having a young calf (of age less than ten days)."

Chapter VII. Forty-six Maxims of Conduct Devotee: Greetings,

Swami. Swami: Oh, you have come, is it? You didn’t come for
Dasara! Devotee: The number of devotees would be large, I
thought, so I was afraid I would not be able to speak to you to my
heart’s content. Hence, I came now, a few days prior to Your
birthday, so that with Your blessings I could realise the ideal that
You teach and have both devotion (bhakthi) and spiritual wisdom
(jnana) born in my heart, on the auspicious day of the celebration
of Your advent. Swami: Good! Very good intention, indeed! But do
you mean to say that devotion and spiritual wisdom will not be
born in you on days other than my birthday? Is that your idea?
Devotee: No, no! That is not so! You come to this world on an
auspicious day at a holy moment with an auspicious form, right?
My idea is that at least on such a day I could establish Your holy
words in my heart and make it pure. The day is holy; the moment
auspicious. Swami: Fine! What doubt do you have today?
Devotee: I came today determined to hear and put into practice
Your Holy words, Swami. As the saying goes, “Even if you go to
Kasi (Benares), you have Saturn by your side!” So I didn’t bring
the demon of doubt with me today. Nor did that demon
accompany me! It is all due to Your grace. Swami: Very good!
Understand that when doubts do not come of themselves and are
not entertained by you, then indeed the mind is pure. When these
two happen, it can be called one-pointedness. When you have
none, why should I remind you of doubts? Then tell me, what
shall I speak to you about? Devotee: Swami, tell me how we
should, generally, conduct ourselves. What qualities should we
possess? Which type of subjects should we try to understand? To
receive divine grace and attain Your Holy Presence, what acts
should we perform? Please tell me the more important of these,
the essential things, the chosen jewels. Swami: Oh! It seems,
Parvathi asked Iswara once, “It is difficult to retain in memory the
thousand names of God; it takes a long time to learn them and
repeat them; so, please tell m 3. The one Supreme Atma is in
everyone, in the form of divine love. 4. More than all other forms
of love, one’s first effort should be to fix one’s love on the Lord. 5.
Such love directed toward God is devotion (bhakthi); the
fundamental test is the acquisition of devotion. 6. Those who seek
the bliss of the Atma should not run after the joys of sense
objects. 7. Truth (sathya) must be treated as life-giving as
breathing itself. 8. Just as a body that has no breath is useless
and begins to rot and stink within a few minutes, so life without
truth is useless and becomes the stinking abode of strife and
grief. 9. Believe that there is nothing greater than truth, nothing
more precious, sweeter, more lasting. 10. Truth is the all-
protecting God. There is no mightier guardian than truth. 11. The
Lord, who is the embodiment of truth (sathya), grants His sight
(darshan) to those of truthful speech and loving heart. 12. Have
undiminished kindness toward all beings and also the spirit of
self-sacrifice. 13. You must possess control of the senses, an
unruffled character, and non-attachment. 14. Be always on the
alert against the four sins that the tongue is prone to commit: (1)
speaking falsehood, (2) speaking ill of others, (3) back-biting, and
(4) talking too much. It is best to attempt to control these
tendencies. 15. Try to prevent the five sins that the body commits:
killing, adultery, theft, drinking intoxicants, and the eating of flesh.
It is a great help for the highest life if these are kept as far away
as possible. 16. Be always vigilant, without a moment’s
carelessness, against the eight sins that the mind perpetrates:
craving (kama), anger (krodha), greed (lobha), attachment
(moha), impatience, hatred, egotism, and pride. One’s primary
duty is to keep these things at a safe distance from oneself. 17.
The mind speeds fast, pursuing wrong actions. Without letting it
hurry like that, remember the name of the Lord at that time or
attempt to do some good deed or other. Those who do thus will
certainly become fit for the Lord’s grace. 18. First give up the evil
tendency to feel impatient at the prosperity of others and the
desire to harm them. Be happy that others are happy. Sympathise
with those who are in adversity and wish for their prosperity. That
is the means of cultivating the love for God. 19. Patience is all the
strength one needs. 20. Those anxious to live in joy must always
be doing good. 21. It is easy to conquer anger through love,
attachment through reasoning, falsehood through truth, bad
through good, and greed through charity. 22. No reply should be
given to the words of the wicked. For your own good, be at a
great distance from them. Break off all relations with such people.
23. Seek the company of good men, even at the sacrifice of your
honour and life. Pray to God to bless you with the discrimination
needed to distinguish between the good men and the bad. You
must also endeavour to discriminate, using the intellect given to
you. 24. Those who conquer states and earn fame in the world
are hailed as heroes, no doubt, but those who have conquered
the senses are heroes who must be acclaimed as the conquerors
of the Universal. 25. Whatever acts a good or bad person may do,
the fruits thereof follow them and will never stop pursuing them.
26. Greed yields only sorrow; contentment is best. There is no
happiness greater than contentment. 27. The mischief-mongering
tendency should be plucked out by the roots and thrown off. If
allowed to exist, it will undermine life itself. 28. Bear both loss and
grief with fortitude; try to find plans to achieve joy and gain. 29.
When you are invaded by anger, practice silence or remember the
name of the Lord. Do not remind yourself of things that will
inflame the anger more. That will do incalculable harm. 30. From
this moment, avoid all bad habits. Do not delay or postpone. They
do not contribute the slightest joy. 31. Try, as far as possible
within your means, to satisfy the needs of the poor, who are really
God as poverty. Share with them whatever food you have and
make them happy at least at that moment. 32. Whatever you feel
should not be done to you by others, avoid doing such to others.
33. For faults and sins committed in ignorance, repent sincerely
and try not to repeat them. Pray to God to bless you with the
strength and courage needed to stick to the right path. 34. Don’t
allow anything to come near you that will destroy your eagerness
and enthusiasm for God. Want of eagerness will cause the decay
of the strength of people. 35. Don’t yield to cowardice; don’t give
up bliss (ananda). 36. Don’t get swelled up when people praise
you; don’t feel dejected when people blame you. 37. If anyone
among your friends hates another and starts a quarrel, don’t
attempt to inflame them more and make them hate each other
more; instead, try, with love and sympathy, to restore their former
friendship. 38. Instead of searching for others’ faults, search for
your own, uproot them, and throw them off. It is enough if you
search and discover one fault of yours —that is better than
discovering tens of hundreds of faults in others. 39. Even if you
can’t or won’t do any good deed, don’t conceive or carry out any
bad deed. 40. Whatever people may say about the faults that you
know are not in you, don’t feel for it. As for the faults that are in
you, try to correct them yourself, even before others point them
out to you. Don’t harbour anger or bitterness against people who
point out your faults; don’t retort, pointing out their faults, but show
your gratitude to them. Trying to discover their faults is a greater
mistake on your part. It is good for you to know your faults; it is no
good for you to know others’ faults. 41. Whenever you get a little
leisure, don’t spend it in talking about all and sundry, but utilise it
in meditating on God or in doing service to others. 42. The Lord is
understood only by the devotee; the devotee is understood only
by the Lord. Others cannot understand them. So don’t discuss
matters relating to the Lord with those who have no devotion.
Such discussion will diminish your devotion. 43. If anyone speaks
to you on any subject, having understood it wrongly, don’t think of
other wrong notions that will support that stand but grasp only the
good and the sweet in what was said. True meaning is to be
appreciated as desirable, not wrong meaning or many meanings,
which give no meaning at all and cause only the hampering of
bliss (ananda). 44. If you desire to cultivate one-pointedness,
don’t, when in a crowd or bazaar, scatter your vision to the four
corners and on everything, but see only the road in front of you,
just enough to avoid accidents to yourself. One-pointedness will
become firmer if you move about without taking your attention off
the road, if you avoiding dangers, and if you don’t cast your eyes
on others’ forms. 45. Give up all doubts regarding the guru and
God. If your worldly desires don’t get fulfilled, don’t blame it on
your devotion, for there is no relationship between such desires
and devotion to God. These worldly desires have to be given up
some day; feelings of devotion (bhakthi) have to be acquired
some day. Be firmly convinced of this. 46. If your meditation
(dhyana) or soft prayer (japa) doesn’t progress properly or if the
desires you have entertained don’t come to fruition, don’t get
dispirited with God. It will dispirit you even more and you will lose
the peace, however small or big, that you might have earned.
During meditation and soft prayer, you should not be dispirited,
desperate, or discouraged. When such feelings come, take it that
it is the fault of your spiritual exercises and endeavour to do them
correctly. You can easily attain the divine principle only when you
automatically behave and act in this manner and along these
lines, in your daily conduct and in all actions. Therefor

Introduction

Lakshmana has occurred. Bharata and Satrughna go to Kausalya's place.

matter, Kausalya comes to know Bharata's heart, fondly takes him to her lap and
