Râma, the gracious benefactor of His servants, thus dispelled my infatuation.

Excerpt

The Lord at once checked the influence of His delusive power. The Lord placed His lotus hands upon my head and—ever merciful to the poor—Healed me of all my pain. Râma, the gracious benefactor of His servants, thus dispelled my infatuation. As I reflected on His mighty power, there first arose in my heart a great transport of delight; and seeing His loving-kindness to His worshippers my bosom heaved with an unutterable love.

✨ To meditate on today

According to Tulsidas’s Ramayana, the Lord Rama places His hands, gentle as the lotus, on the head of the one who suffers, heals his pain and dispels his confusion; seeing such kindness, the heart overflows with unutterable love. Today, gently place your hand on the shoulder of someone who is struggling, or on your own heart, and welcome that soothing tenderness.
