How is Lord Rama greater than Satya Harishchandra?

[Shri Satthireddy asked: Mee Paada Padmalaku Namaskaram Swamiji, Swamiji, Satya Hari Chandra sold his wife, was about to kill his wife for his Satya nishta and Lord Rama Chandra also sent His wife Sitamma to the forest. Please explain these two contexts. Swamiji ultimately You are great but in this context, sacrifice of Satya Hari Chandra exceeds Lord Rama. please kill my ignorance with Your spiritual sword Swamij? Swamiji, if anything wrong is there in the question itself please teach to this beggar satthireddy 🙏🙏🙏]

Swami replied:- Satya Harishchandra is a good soul but Rama is the human incarnation of God. The Veda says that there is no one even equal to God and where is the possibility of greater than God? (Na tat samaścābhyadhikaśca… Veda). Rama knows the truth and hence, did not kill Sita. Harishcandra also knows the truth, but couldn’t get the courage of Rama in reducing the punishment since he was bound to the duty only like Bhishma supporting Kauravas bound to duty through his foolish promise. Krishna also promised not to handle any weapon, but, He broke His promise in order to defeat injustice and ran towards Bhishma with a wheel in His hands. Truth, justice and non-violence towards good people are more important than foolish duty minded blind promise. Your own words are speaking that Rama is far far greater than Harishcandra.
