GOD ALONE HAS BECOME ALL THINGS

AT one time Rama was overpowered by the spirit
of renunciation. Dasaratha, worried at this, went to
the sage Vasistha and begged him to persuade
Rama not to give up the world. The sage came to
Rama and found him in a gloomy mood. The fire
of intense renunciation had been raging in the
Prince's mind. Vasistha said: "Rama, why should
you renounce the world? Is the world outside
God? Reason with me." Rama realized that the
world had evolved from the supreme Brahman. So
he said nothing.
