Chapter -44 -Sri Vinaya Patrika - The significance of devotion and Athmajjanam/Bhramavichara
Sri Tulsidas Maharaj speaks “Oh! Ignorant, wake
up! Wake up! Look at the Samsararoopi dark night, the attachment to material
matters, wealth, richness, money, fame, children, wife, companion and
relatives, Ahamkara and Mamakara/body and I consciousness are mere lightning,
it has fleeting nature, you are living in illusion, the Prakrithi is destructible
nature/Kshanabangura like life on the Earth. You have drenched in the Maya/infinite
Nama Roopa Dhrishya, chasing after the pleasure of material matters that have
impermanent nature. You are sinking in the Mriga Thrishna, you are chasing
after the reflection of sunlight that gives out the appearance of water in the
desert, you have mistaken the rope as a serpent and getting alarmed. The Veda and
intellectuals speaking loudly about the dread caused by the nightmares that
end only when the person wakes up from the dream, and the terror continues to
chase the Jeeva until and unless he/she is awake. The knowledge of Paramarththa
Thaththva wakes up the Jeeva from Avidhya Maya, the supreme Lord reside as the soul
is indestructible Purusha, and the Prakrithi/material matters and body are
destructible, the soul is eternal, pure, unblemished, free from affliction and
it has neither birth nor death. The accumulated Vasana/attributes of Rajasik, Sathvik, and Thamasik cause rebirth. The attachment to worldly matters and bondage
hurls the Jeeva into constant miseries and ultimately to the vicious cycles of
rebirth. The Paramarththa Thaththva/Athmajjana, the soul/ Athman - Athma
is Paramathma and it is indestructible Purusha, it would destroy the Thrividha
Thapa/Adhidheivik, Adhibhauthik, and Adhyathmik lessens the interest in worldly
matters and bondage. Oh! Tulsi, the knowledge of all-pervasive Bhramam resides
as a soul would destroy the illusion/ignorance/Avidhyamaya like deep sleep in
the Jeeva, it would remove the Thrividha Thapa as well. Once, the Jeeva is out
of the clutches of Avidya Maya like sleep, achieves the pure love for Sri
Ramanama Japa.”
Sri Tulsidas Maharaj continues “Whoever
achieve the grace of Lord Sri Ramachandra would get rid of Avidhya Maya like deep
sleep, Oh! Jeeva, practice the constant recitation of Ramanama, cultivate
intense love at the lotus feet of Lord Sri Hari, and get rid of impurities of
Kama, Krodha, Lobha, Moha, Madha, Mathshcharya, body and I consciousness,
interest in worldly matters and bondage. Oh! Jeeva, ponder over the Nithya Anithyavasthu/the
destructible Prakrithi and the indestructible Purusha, abandon Kama, Krodha,
Lobha, Moha, Madha, Mathshcharya and take shelter at the lotus feet of Dheenabandhu Kripasindhu Kalyanasamudhra Sri
Ramachandra and it is the command of Veda as well. Oh! Jeeva, you have been
sleeping in the dark hours of Amavasya so long due to ignorance, you have
soaked in worldly matters and bondage, Ahamkara and Mamakara, and you have
completely forgotten the Nijaswaroopa/Athma is Paramathma in you. Oh! Jeeva,
your lifetime on the Earth is ending, the morning has arrived after the long
night of Amavasya like ignorance, the arrival of Jjanaroopi Surya would remove
the wrong perceptions, eventually the Avidhya Maya, Vasana/attributes, Ragadhvesha
would flee away from you. The Athmajjanaroopi brilliant rays of the Sun would drive
away from the Rakshasaroopi Ahamkara, Mamakara, Kama, Krodha, Lobha, Moha, etc. in the Jeeva. The
pack of Papa/sins and Santhapa/grief would run away at the sight of the lotus
feet of Sri Raghunatha, the Thrividhapapa would get disappear in the Premaroopi
supreme brilliance of Lord Sri Ramachandra. Whoever awakens from the
Mohanidhra/sleep of ignorance and desires are extremely valorous, takes up
various austerities, vows, Shamadhamadhi, Sathyam, Shaucham, Dhaya, practice Athmavichara,
Swadhyaya, contemplation, and meditation, etc. achieves Santhosha/bliss and
Vairagya/sense of abandonment, contentment. Oh! Tulsidas, the compassionate
Lord Sri Ramachandra would destroy the Thrividha Thapa of his devotees,
liberate them from the vicious cycles of rebirth and provide Paramanandha/supreme
bliss.”
