Thus Spake Sri Rama

The sayings in this section have been collected from various sources like the Valmiki Ramayana, Adhyatma Ramayana and the Yoga Vasishtha Ramayana. 


Sri Rama tells Hanuman,

It is the shadow of the Paramatman that you see reflected in all the living beings as Jivatman. Don't you see the great sky reflected in each and every lake or river? That Paramatman is the sky which is stationary. Its reflections are not permanent. Just as the sky alone exists, so also the Paramatman, which is the Supreme Brahman, is the only reality. All the visible living things are only its reflections.
