Sita Mother

One day, Sri Rama wanted to test his brother Lakshmana.Sita is sleeping in the forest in Sri Rama's lap. Rama pretends that He has some urgent work and says: "Lakshmana, I have some work, I have to go; but don't disturb Sita. You come and take My place and let Sita sleep without any disturbance until she wakes up."

So quietly they change their positions; Lakshmana takes Rama's position and Sita is with her head on Lakshmana's lap. And what does Rama do? He converts Himself into a parrot and goes and sits on the top of the thatched hut, and looks to see what is going to happen to Lakshmana. But Lakshmana is not any ordinary person! Do you know what he did?Look at him! He was alone with a woman! There was nobody else. This is his brother's wife. And look at what Lakshmana did.

'Sumitra'Sumitra'Sumitra..' he was reminding himself constantly that the woman who is sleeping in his lap is not Sita, but Sumitra, 'my mother, my mother, my mother' he kept saying to himself."
