Swami replied:- Shabari showed real love in the sacrifice to the Lord rather than formality. When Rama went to sages, they gave Him fruits and only after Rama had eaten the fruits, did they eat the fruits as remains of the food of the Lord. Thus they only observed formality. But Shabari tasted the fruits and gave only the sweet fruits to Rama. Her love for Rama was beyond formality. Therefore real love is above all the traditional and ritual formalities. Lord Rama rewarded such true love.
