📌 ONE QUESTION FROM THE BOOK

What is the duty (dharma) I must uphold to the end, even in the face of extreme trials and temptations?

📝ONGO's Reflection

Following Prince Rama's heroic journey to rescue his abducted wife from a villainous demon, I realized that this is no simple adventure tale but a philosophy of the highest order. The steadfast figures of the characters, striving to fulfill their duty unwavering even amid endless hardship and injustice, are sublime to behold. In a confusing world where good and evil are bewilderingly intertwined, it makes me question the center of life that I must never lose.
