How could Tulsidas see Rama?
A spiritual discourse exploring the nature of the soul, divine vision, and the sanctity of the human body.
"The soul that comes into this mortal world is, in one way, caught in this body. It neither wants to go out of it nor likes being in it."
"In every temple is your statue, but I cannot see your face, my Lord... Therefore, we have to understand what human body God has given us. And that is within us, but we cannot see it."
The speaker delivers a teaching on the eternal soul (Ātmā) and the human condition, questioning common beliefs about the afterlife and divine perception. He narrates the transformative stories of the bandit-turned-sage Vālmīki and the poet Tulsīdās's missed encounter with Lord Rāma to illustrate the power of mantra and the need for spiritual alertness. The discourse emphasizes the human body as a sacred temple, discusses the law of karma, and concludes with a call for self-knowledge and devotion through chanting.
