Truth always wins, no matter how vicious or poisonous lie is because even a bitter truth oozes with positivity and the sweetest lie has the darkest agenda behind it. The win of good over evil is a universal fate. <strong dir="ltr">A person should always have a noble heart and good values. That is how Lord Rama defeated the most knowledgeable person in history Ravana.</strong></div><div><strong>Unity can overcome any difficulty in life</strong></div><div dir="ltr">Dashratha has three wives and four sons, all of them loved each other immensely and when life put them through tough times, their hearts were united even when they were apart physically. <strong dir="ltr">You should always stand by your family because when together a family can win over any difficulty. The fruits of togetherness give the power to sail the ship when the tide seems higher than the sky.</strong></div><div><strong>Be deeply committed to your duty </strong></div><div dir="ltr">Besides being Sita’s husband, Ram was also the King of Ayodhya. And the duty of the king is to keep his subjects happy. And hence, he had to abandon his wife for the sake of the masses after they questioned her chastity. <strong dir="ltr">As a husband, he was duty bound towards his wife. But as a King, he had to think of his subjects’ wishes ahead of his personal ones.</strong></div><img src="https://www.newsbharati.com/Encyc/2020/4/2/2_11_55_26_560_1_H@@IGHT_450_W@@IDTH_600.jpg" alt="560_1&nbsp;&nbsp;H x W: 0" title="560_1&nbsp;&nbsp;H x W: 0" width="600" height="450"><div><strong>Choose the path of righteousness </strong></div><div dir="ltr"><strong dir="ltr"><span dir="ltr">Vibhishana, younger brother of Ravana chose to not support his sibling in the war against Ram.</span> </strong>He knew his brother had committed a sin by abducted someone, a married lady.</div><div><strong>Remain humble no matter how powerful you become</strong></div><div dir="ltr"><strong dir="ltr">Hanuman could have easily rescued Sita from Ravana’s Ashoka Vatika. </strong>He had the power to single-handedly fight against Ravana’s army. <strong dir="ltr">But he chose to surrender to Lord Ram’s divinity and let him do the needful.</strong></div><div><strong>Treat everyone equally</strong></div><div dir="ltr"><strong dir="ltr">Lord Rama treated everyone equally and that’s how he earned the love and respect among everyone. </strong>No matter if a person was younger or elder, poor or rich, he was the same person for everyone. Even when Sabri (the sage’s daughter) offered him the already tasted berry fruits he ate them without giving a second thought. <strong dir="ltr">He was always kind and humble to people. We should toe inhere this quality. We should always treat everyone with equality and should not discriminate on the basis of status, sex, age, or cast. </strong>We should treat animals equally as the true human being is the one who knows that everyone deserves an equal treatment.</div><img src="https://www.newsbharati.com/Encyc/2020/4/2/2_11_56_52_560_1_H@@IGHT_450_W@@IDTH_600.jpg" alt="560_1&nbsp;&nbsp;H x W: 0" title="560_1&nbsp;&nbsp;H x W: 0" width="600" height="450"><div><strong>Always keep good company</strong></div><div dir="ltr">It is said that your company shapes you into a person you are. We have been told to keep good company since childhood and Ramayana too emphasize the relevance of good company. <strong dir="ltr">Queen Kaikeyi, the third wife of Dashratha loved Rama more than her own son but her handmaiden, Manthara poisoned her thoughts with negative feed, in result Kaikeyi asked for Rama’s fourteen years of exile.</strong> A negative person can brainwash all the good inside you, that is why we should always keep a healthy circle so that we become better with time.</div><div><strong>All that glitters is not gold</strong></div><div dir="ltr"><strong dir="ltr">Sita got attracted to a spotted deer that looked incredibly beautiful. </strong>She wanted Ram to get the deer for her from the jungle.

Now he was lured into his own trap of anger and ultimately he signed his death warrant.
