Devotion, Love and Marriage (part 2)
A wife's devotion and truth can restore justice and a husband's honor. A queen's husband is exiled due to his brother-in-law's false accusations. The sad queen deduces the plot. She disguises herself as a swāmī, travels to the king, and charms him with devotional singing. When offered a boon, she claims the brother-in-law owes her money. The man truthfully denies knowing the swāmī. The queen reveals her identity, explaining the brother-in-law deceived her in her palace. The king imprisons the brother-in-law and frees her husband, praising her. True marriage is heart-to-heart devotion, not mere emotion. One must wait patiently for a destined partner, not be ruled by immediate senses, to find real happiness.
"See how a wife can protect the husband, and how the husband can put his hand on his heart and speak on behalf of his wife. That is called devotion."
"Mother Earth will not lose the seeds. Even if there is a drought for ten years, after ten years when the rain comes, you will be surprised how many seeds grow."
