The Inner Meaning of Ram and Sita’s Marriage

Question

Sister, just now you said that Lord Ram, or Bhagwan Ramchandra, is still in his childhood or early youth.
If that is so, and Sita is with him — does that mean they are married or not? Please explain this relationship a little.

Answer

Yes. The meaning of Sita — we have explained this before — is our pure thinking, our purified state of mind.

When King Janaka was plowing the field, it is said that a daughter appeared from the earth — that daughter was named Sita.
Plowing the field here means using the plow of knowledge, and the field means our mental and intellectual field.

When we plow this inner field with the plow of knowledge, the daughter — Sita — manifests.
In other words, when we use knowledge in our mind and intellect, our thinking becomes pure.
That pure thinking itself is Sita.

So wherever Ram is, Sita will surely be there.

Ram represents the Self — the conscious, living soul.
The body is only an instrument through which the soul performs all actions.

When I remain in the awareness, “I am the conscious soul,” then my thinking becomes pure.
But when I think, “I am the body,” then my thinking remains impure.

So when I say and live in the awareness “I am the soul, the conscious energy,” my thoughts naturally become pure — that purity (Sita) always stays with me.

In the Puranic stories, whenever we read about marriage — the union of two beings — its deeper meaning is symbolic.
It means the merging or joining of one principle with another.

Here, the Self — the conscious soul (Ram) — joins with the purified thought (Sita).
This union of the soul with pure thought is what the scriptures call marriage.

So this is not a physical or worldly marriage — it is the inner union of the soul with purity.
