The pain associated with the dualities of worldly existence can only be alleviated by a Satya Guru. Lord Rama himself travelled all over his realm in his fifteenth year to explore ways and means of overcoming wealth, ego, mind, desire, body, worry and uncertainty. On his return to Ayodhya, he requests the Sage Vasishtha to explain to him how worldly existence could be overcome and permanent bliss be established. This was how Lord Rama was initiated by the Sage Vasishtha into spiritual wisdom in the form of stories that form the essence of the Yoga Vasishtha, a text that is universally acknowledged as a masterpiece in Vedanta.
