SATSANGH SUDHA 100902

Whilst a good memory is considered a great virtue and an asset, forgetfulness is generally considered a weakness and a liability.

In the Vinay Patrika, Goswami Tulsidasji says that the forgetfulness of Lord Rama in certain matters is a great blessing to devotees. What are these matters in which the flawless and immaculate Lord has taken upon Himself this one weakness for the sake of His dear devotees and has become selectfully forgetful? They are :

1. The offences of even the vilest sinners who regard the Lord as their enemy.

2. The faults of His devotees.

3. Any act of charity or kindness performed by Himself.

Tulsidasji concludes by asking how can anyone not love Shree Rama even if just the above attributes of the Lord is known ?
