Ram is the gathering place of every bliss, beyond delusion and beyond the knowledge that claims to master delusion. Speech and sense cannot reach the fullness present before them.
Yet the supreme love of his parents binds him into childhood. He accepts hunger, sleep, crawling, laughter, tears, touch, and the need to be lifted, not through limitation but through freedom.
The sacred play allows ordinary affection to become a path into the Absolute. Dasharatha and Kausalya do not leave parenthood to seek Brahman elsewhere. The unreachable One has entered their daily care and made each small gesture a form of worship.
The bliss beyond speech reaches upward like a child asking to be carried.
Read the passage from the Manas
सुख संदोह मोहपर ग्यान गिरा गोतीत। दंपति परम प्रेम बस कर सिसुचरित पुनीत।।199।।
He who is the gathering of all bliss, beyond delusion, beyond knowledge, beyond speech and the reach of the senses: that One, bound by the supreme love of His parents, enacts the sacred play of a child.
