I am not sure if the whole story is an allegory (like the stories in the Bhagavad Gita) or a real, historical event.
But to me it’s the perfect picture of the human Ego. The Ego is just like Satan in the story of creation. It rebels, it refuses, it disagrees, it doesn’t bend, no matter what. It sacrifices children, nations, even itself, it is so proud, it sees itself as something so great / so limitless / so unchallengeable, not even by God. “Who is God in comparison with the great personality of Ramses? Who is he? Does Ramses bend to God? – No. God Should bend to the God of Gods, to the King of Kings.”
That is the true subject of this story and it is the story of all of us.
Ex: “What is science? What is reason? If I said the earth is flat, it has to be flat. If I said that doing this or that is a religious obligation (even if the book itself and history says otherwise) than you must do it. Or Else you will suffer the consequence. If I say something is true, the whole media will follow me. Or else I’ll take your body, melt it into acid, and mix it to the Marmora Sea through the Turkish sewer system. If I say I am to be the president, what are the elections that were held in one of the greatest democracies in the world? I am greater than elections. I decide what elections are. If I say they are invalid, than they must be absolutely invalid (I am talking about what is about to happen in Brazil of course)”
Again, this is one of the main subjects in spirituality. So you shouldn’t think of all of us as maniacs who are obsessed with female bodies and some other outdated beliefs and practices. There are some of us who are truly making efforts that are related to their inner nature with the aim of being able to obtain some true / visible results in their daily lives.
There are idiots in every group. That doesn’t mean all of us are idiots
