A question might arise. Given that Śrī Rāma is of infinite excellences, trying to emulate all of them might be simultaneously tragicomical. What should be done?

Śrī Rāmanujacharya’s commentary on Bhagavadgītā 2.46 gives us a valuable approach -

- “एवं सर्वेषु वेदेषु ब्राह्मणस्य विजानतः वैदिकस्य मुमुक्षोः यदेव मोक्षसाधनं तद् एव उपादेयम् न अन्यत्।”
“Thus a seeker should take from all the Vedas only what is required to attain his mokṣa. Not anything else.”

The same principle applies to us. Śrī Rāma’s life is a veritable ocean of excellences - just like the Veda. We should choose what is applicable to us.
