"Everyone, who is born, meets his fate according to his own deeds. These deeds result in pain and pleasure for all. Hence, one should keep one's mind under control so that the mind does not go astray. Nobody knows when the end would come. We must avoid committing sinful acts. He who follows the path of right thinking, does not lament or cry over the death of dear ones. One must look towards the future as the past is gone. One can better one's future only."
After Sugriva became king of Kishkindha, Bali's son Angad was made the Crown Prince. Hanuman was there to help Sugriva in administering the state. Sugriva was very happy. Rama was living in the forest. Lakshman desired that Sugriva should fulfil his promise of helping Rama in search for Sita. But he simply forgot that he owned to Rama what he had done for him. Rama was naturally worried.
Hanuman waited for some time to let Sugriva get settled. One day, when he could not wait anymore, he said to Sugriva, "You are now king of Kishkindha. The timely help of your friends and well-wishers has brought you this kingdom. You must be remembering what Rama has done for you. Therefore, it is the right time to help him in the fulfillment of his wish. He is expecting you to come forward and assist him in the search of his wife. You had promised to do so. Breach of trust does not behove you."
On the other hand, Rama was perturbed and waited for Sugriva's help. Lakshman was rather dejected at the plight of his elder brother. He was very furious. As he could bear no more, he sought Rama's permission to meet Sugriva. When he came to Kishkandha, everyone was alerted. Sugriva who had no time free from luxuries and enjoyments of life, was upset at the news of Lakshman's arrival. He said to Hanuman, "O son of Vayu! It is a very critical moment. Please pacify him as he is very angry. Also suggest to me what I can do in this matter. Rama is himself all powerful. How can I be of any use to him?"
Hanuman immediately arranged a meeting with Lakshman and said, "Kindly give up anger. King Sugriva can never think of breaking his promise. He is very much worried about Sita whom we consider as our mother. But he finds no way out. Please command us and we shall obey whatever you say. We shall leave no stone unturned to mitigate Lord Rama's agony."
