The Ramayana’s message is not that we passively give in to Destiny, but that we gallantly stick to Duty.

Chaitanya Charan Das, Wisdom from The Ramayana: On Life and Relationships
धीराःशोकं तरिष्यन्ति लभन्ते सिद्धिमुत्तमं | धीरैः संप्राप्ते लक्ष्मी: धैर्यं सर्वत्र साधनम् ||
अर्थ – बहादुर और ऊर्जावान व्यक्ति शोक रूपी सागर को तैर कर सफलता और धन सम्पत्ति पा लेते हैं | इसी लिये कहा गया है कि धैर्य हर परिस्थिति या विपरीत परिस्थितियों पर सफलता पाने का सर्वोत्तम उपाय है |
Brave and energetic people are able to fathom the ocean of sorrows and achieve success in their endeavors and become rich, It is true that patience and courage are the best means of achieving success in every field during adversity.

Only the timid and the weak leave things to destiny but the strong AND the self-confident never bank on destiny or luck.

– Ramayana, Lakshmana to Rama
एक टुकड़ा चाँद का ,
खुली खिड़की के अंदर आ गया.
बड़े गौर से देखता रहा ,
थोड़ा मुस्कुराया फिर बोला –
बाहर आओ.
असल दुनिया में!
टूटना या खंडित होना बुरा नहीं होता.
उसे पकड़े रहने की कोशिश ग़लत होती है.
आगे बढ़ते रहने के लिए,
कुछ छोड़ना सीखना ज़रूरी है,
मेरी तरह!
देखो मुझे,
खंडित होना और पूरा होना ही मेरा जीवन है,
मेरी नियति है.
फिर भी मुस्कुराता हूँ.
सितारों के साथ टिमटिमाता हूँ।
चाँदनी, शीतलता और सौंदर्य फैलाता हूँ.


Ramayana
Human behavior flows from three main sources; desire, emotion, and knowledge.

– Plato
When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us.

Hellen Keller
The purpose of life, therefore, is the realizing of that prophecy; the unveiling of the immortal man; the birth of the spiritual from the psychical, whereby we enter our divine inheritance and come to inhabit Eternity. This is, indeed, salvation, the purpose of all true religion, in all times. Patanjali.
― Patañjali, The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali
