Story of Shri Ram and Peacock: In today’s time, the importance of loans and benefits taken by someone on us is becoming less. But if a person really understands its importance, then not only this birth but also the next birth can be successful. Lord Rama was also born in human form on earth and he understood the importance of debt and gratitude well. Let us know about an unknown story of Ramayana, in which Lord Rama becomes indebted to a bird and understands the importance of his kindness, fulfills the promise given to the bird as Krishna.
God prayed to nature for water.
Lord Rama was at 14 years of exile with Mata Mata Sita and brother Lakshmana. One day during exile, Mother Sita was thirsty for water, but no water was found anywhere. That is why Lord Rama says to nature, ‘If there is water anywhere around, then show me his way.’ Meanwhile, a peacock comes to Shri Rama and says, ‘There is a reservoir at a short distance from here. I will take you there, but there is a possibility that I go away. ‘ In which Ramji says why? In response, the peacock says, “I am flying and you come after me on foot.” During this time, I will keep flying my wings one by one. You will reach the reservoir with the help of those wings. ‘

Peacock gave his life to the reservoir.
It is said that peacock feathers are a season of loss. But if a peacock collapses its wings outside the season, he dies. In the story of Ramji and Peacock, the peacock spreads his wings to take Ramji to the reservoir and takes his last breath and tells Ramji, “The one who quenches the thirst of the whole world, I got the privilege of quenching his thirst, what else do I want more than this?”
Shri Ram promised peacock
After this, Lord Shri Ram says to the peacock, ‘I will repay the wings he has broken in the next life and will put them on my head.’ After this, when Lord Rama incarnates Lord Krishna in his second birth, he pays peacock’s debt by wearing peacock feathers on his head.

For how many births we will remain indebted?
If God also has to take a second birth to repay the loan of the smallest benevolence of someone, then we ordinary human beings will remain indebted to each other for many births. We do not even know when we will be able to repay the debt of whose debt.
The work of kindness done with selfless spirit never goes in vain.
This story also teaches us that the work of kindness done selflessly never goes in vain. Even if the favorant does not get the award immediately, still, somehow, at some time, his loan is definitely paid. The word given to the peacock of Lord Rama is a proof that every work in the creation is the value and kindness can never be forgotten.
Let us also take a pledge
Therefore, on this auspicious occasion of Ram Navami, we should also take a pledge that we will always remember each other’s benefits and as far as possible, no one will be indebted to anyone. And if someone helps us, we never forget to thank him. Because debt and gratitude are two threads of life that connect us with each other and keep humanity alive.
