Shri Eashwara said
The yogis take pleasure in meditating upon the boundless, Supreme Soul, which is the very embodiment of truth, wisdom and eternal bliss. Hence that Supreme Being is known by the Name Rama ( meaning - One who is capable of bestowing joy). Understand that Shri Rama, the embodiment of truth, wisdom and eternal bliss, is the omnipotent Supreme Being, who is the root-cause of the universe.
Shri Devi said
If Shri Rama is all-knowing, in the past when Devi Sita was abducted by Havana, why did He make enquiries to the trees? Please tell me. If Shri Rama is righteous, why did He murder Vali hiding Himself, just to please Sugriva? If Shri Rama is the storehouse of compassion, why did He leave Devi Sita in the forest despite Her being blemishes, and pregnant at that time?
Shri Eashwara replied
Shri Raghava, the Lord of Lords, is the Supreme Soul, rid of birth and death. Due to His immense power of Maya, He, the ocean of compassion, decided to be born on this earth. Shri Bhagavan playfully took upon Himself the nature of man. He enacted scenes on this earth as an ordinary man does on a drama stage. Realize that all those scenes by the Supreme Being are part of the dramatic representation of His divine pastime. In reality, Shri Rama is the Supreme Being, the Almighty Himself. It is quite certain. One who chants the Taraka Mantra incessantly with regardful devotion alone gets truly enlightened upon Rama tat. There is no other way to realize it. realization of this Rama tattoo leads to redemption from the bonds of the samsara. Moksha is non-existent like the horn of a rabbit to those who do not understand Rama tattva.
