Synopsis :
Lav and Kush innocently ask their mother about the nature and growth of Sat-karma, good deeds. Sita lovingly explains that Sat-Karma involves performing actions as service to society, treating everyone as one's own.
She emphasizes a deeper spiritual truth: God's divine presence resides at the heart of every good deed. Sita teaches that when the Divine name is in one's speech and hands are engaged in noble acts, the soul radiates its inherent divinity and wisdom.
Lav and Kush reflect that truthful and righteous actions lead to eternal inner peace .
====================================================
Song 1: Strive for Good Deeds
Sita:
Remember first the Lord Almighty,
Who for all in life provides.
By devoting self to duty,
Strive ever for deeds of pride.
Song 2: Characteristics of Sat-Karma
(The Virtues of Good Deeds)
Sita:
Thus are the virtues of good deeds,
Where one repays society with it’s needs.
One who calls all as their own,
For them, the righteous path is sown. (Refrain)
With God enshrined within the mind,
Joy and peace you shall find.
On your lips, the Lord's own name,
In the hands, a virtuous aim.
A divine light shall then shine bright,
In form of knowledge, in form of light. (1)
Thus are the virtues of good deeds...
Song 3 : The Heart of good deeds
Sita:
Millions of butterflies
Visit flowers and treetops.
For the farmers’ hard work
They give bountiful crops.
Has anyone ever
Paid these butterflies?
Though they’ve served man
For many many a lives!
This itself is proof
Of God’s love for you.
He indeed is the Heart
Of good deeds you do.
Song 4 : Arrows of good deeds
Sita :
Take the bow of Lord's name
Establish relation with the Lord
Release the arrows of good-deeds.
Understand the essence of this world
Song 5: Work of Lord
Lav - Kush :
Let us all , do the work of the Lord
See what wonders Lord has done
In your eyes He has put His light
When you do good deeds
His love will your heart ignite
Link :
Lav-Kush on hearing Sita, understood
One should pray to God regularly
There should always be ‘Dharma’ in mind
‘Sat-karma’ should be the aim only
Song 6: Eternal peace
Lav and Kush: (each realising the value of good deeds)
Oh! I see,
One who always does good deeds,
One who is always truthful,
He alone shall enjoy
peace of mind eternal
