Under no circumstances should we lose our faith. The one with faith can 
accomplish anything. Swami has said many times about Tyagaraja who also lost 
this faith at times, on account of a wavering mind. Ramadasa too had doubts at 
times. 


Ramadasa had to total faith in Lord Rama and had completely surrendered to him. 
But at times, human weakness comes in and manifests like a bubble of doubt. The 
soldiers were beating Ramadasa and he could not bear the suffering. He became 
angry. Spiritual aspirants should never become angry.


Ramadasa shouted, “O Rama, I made a diamond studded crown for you. You are 
roaming around wearing that crown, whose property do you think is that?” 
However, minutes later Ramadasa felt very bad and he cried out to Lord Rama. He 
sang, “O Rama please do not be angry with me that I shouted at you. I did so 
because I could not bear the pain, not because I wanted to shout at you”. But 
even at such times, we must have patience.
