| Chapter 20 : Truthful labour |
 The
children Lav and Kush always watched with wonder while their mother
SITA performed Pooja i.e. daily worship and prayers. She would sing
hymns to them while performing Pooja; hymns of love for God and hymns
of worldy knowledge as well. On one such occasion, she explains to
them about truthful labour and prosperity. || Prosperity || SITA: Some offer prayers, Some try to be wise. One who humbles himself The Lord will be his. Who can give anything, Who can receive it? The Lord Jagannath, Everything is His. He has given intellect, Your deeds you mus’ purify, When you can add value Your wealth will multiply. Footnote: Jagannath:Means Lord of the world. || Purification of Life || SITA: It is not too late even now, Oh! My devotee beloved To turn your steps In the path of the Lord. Source of the river is a pure spring So also life starts as a pure being When water gets muddied on its journey With alum crystals you can render clear If life be sinful by indiscretion, With good deeds you can make it pure |
