RAMA’S ARMY
A story about Sincerity,
adapted from Tales of All Times
by The Mother
The monkeys and bears
of Hanuman's army
fought for Lord Rama
and his brother Lakshman
against Ravana
the ten-headed demon.
Weakening under the blows
of the warriors
who were attacking him
from every side,
Ravana made use
of his magic power.
Suddenly, at his side,
among the demons,
many Ramas
and many Lakshmanas
magically appeared.
They were in truth
nothing but false
and deceptive appearances,
but the monkeys and the bears,
taking them for real people,
halted in confusion.
How could they continue
the fight and go on throwing
trees and rocks
against Rama and Lakshmana,
their beloved leaders?
Seeing their dismay,
the demon Ravana
gave a smile of cruel delight.
Rama smiled too:
what pleasure he would take
in destroying such a falsehood,
in exposing the trickery,
in gaining victory
for the truth!
He fitted an arrow
to his mighty bow and shot.
The arrow whizzed
through the misleading shadows,
which immediately dissolved.
At last Hanuman's army
could see clearly
and their courage revived.
Similarly,
every straight word
from a sincere person
is like an arrow that can destroy
much falsehood and hypocrisy.
