Chapter -48 -Sri Vinaya Patrika - The significance of austerities– Vishayasanga
Parithyaga and practice of love and devotion at the lotus feet of Sri
Ramachandra/Bhagavath Charana Anurag
Sri Tulsidas Maharaj speaks “Oh!
Dheenabandhu who is compassionate to distressed people, Oh! Sukhasindhu who is
the ocean of happiness and welfare, Oh! Kripakara, Oh! Karunanidhan Sri
Raghunath, I am worn out of Thrividha Thapa/Adhidheivik, Adhibhauthik and Adhyathmik,
interest in worldly matters and bondage, Ahamakara and Mamakara/body and I consciousness,
impurities of Kama, Krodha, Lobha, Moha, Madha, and Mathshcharya. Oh! Prabhu, I
am completely exhausted by the Thrividha Jwara, even the practice of Yoga and
Viyoga is not working effectively. The
ignorant Jeeva becomes menace and haughty, takes great pleasures in
Bhogavasthu sometimes pretends to be Dharmaparayana Jjani, or unwise King. Oh! Deva, due to the
Thrividha Thapa the ignorant Jeeva chases after material matters, possession,
richness, wealth, fame, money, etc. sometimes feels the world is a treasure house or
spread hatred among the people, or chases after sensual pleasure, and the Jeeva
is not freed from the impurities of the mind, hence constantly undergoes grief and
sufferings. Oh! Bhagavan, the Samsararoopi Sannipath Jwara/highly infectious illness of Kama, Krodha, Lobha, Moha, Madha, Mathshcharya of worldly existence
cannot be evaded without the grace of the supreme Lord. It is the supreme cure to
get rid of grief and sufferings of worldly existence and impurities of mind/redundant
thoughts, without the grace of the Lord it is impossible to achieve the serenity of mind and liberation from worldly existence. Oh! Bhagavan, your
compassionate grace would provide the Jeeva with the nearness of preceptor, who
inspire his disciples to undertake Shama, Dhamadhi, Sathyam, Shaucham, Dhaya, Dharma,
Thithiksha, austerities, Japa, Thapa, the vow of celibacy and silence, Swadhyaya,
Athmavichara, meditation, and contemplation, etc. are the superior cures to get
rid of sufferings of worldly existence. I am Tulsidas have taken shelter at the
lotus feet of Sri Ramachandra feels that the Samsaroopi Roga/illness of worldly
existence will not get cured without the love and devotion to the supreme Lord.”
Sri Tulsidas Maharaj continues “Oh!
Bhagavan, the Moharoopi impurity encourages the Jeeva to practice immoral
deeds, that cannot be destroyed easily, without the crores of austerities and
Shamadhamadhi, because the accumulated Vasana/attributes of Sathvik, Rajasik,
Thamasik nature in the Jeeva added in the several births forces the Jeeva to follow
the immoral deeds. The infinite Nama Roopa Dhrishya influence the Jeeva to get attached
to it easily, forgetting the Nijaswaroopa/Athman in it, the interest in worldly
matters and bondage driven the Jeeva far from the Paramathma reside as a soul in it,
the eyes got polluted by looking cravingly at the Parasthree/strange women, the
Vishayasanga/ association with the wicked, ill-mannered, interest in worldly
matters caused the mind impure, the attributes/Vasana, Ahamkara on the body and
Mamakara spoiled the heart as well. Oh! Bhagavan, the Jeeva moved afar from the
Nijaswaroopa/Athma is Paramathma, forgets to remember the lotus feet of Sri
Ramachandra, their ears got polluted by hearing gossips, their tongue got
polluted by cursing and blaming others. Oh! Bhagavan, the Veda, and sacred scriptures
emphasizes the ways to achieve purity of mind by practicing Vrath, Thapa, Japa,
Jjan, Athmavidhya, etc. I am Tulsidas have taken shelter at the lotus feet of
Lord Sri Ramachandra feels that without the Premaroopi water at the lotus feet of
Supreme Lord it is impossible to cure the impurities of the mind.”
