O Rama, Thy goodness is good to all.

Excerpt

The monkeys too that scrambled up in the boughs of the tree under which the Lord sat, even these He held dear as Himself; says Tulsi, there is no master so generous as Rama. O Rama, Thy goodness is good to all, and if so, then good to Tulsi also.

✨ To meditate on today

According to Tulsidas, Rama, God incarnate in the Ramayana, is a master so generous that He cherishes even the monkeys perched in the tree above Him; His goodness extends to all, and so to the poet too, and to you. Today, when you feel unworthy or clumsy, remember: “Thy goodness is good to all, and so to me as well,” then extend that goodness to a being who is overlooked.
