Chapter - 73 -Sri Vinaya Patrika - The Ramanama Japa to get rid of Papasamooha – Sharanagathi & Rama Nama Japa for the serenity of mind
Sri Tulsidas Maharaj speaks “Oh! Jeeva, the
recitation of Ramanama would bring auspiciousness and happiness in the life, ultimately
the sins and evilness of Kaliyuga disappear from your life. Oh! Mind, clearly
understand one thing, no one has achieved the fruit of mango by sowing the seeds
of Baboola, the life of a human is very rare to achieve, and if you spend immoral
ways, getting attached to material matters, money, fame, richness, possession,
wealth, family, children, wife, relatives and companion, Ahamkara and Mamakara,
etc. it will not bring happiness or auspiciousness in the Ihaloka/life on Earth
and Paraloka/life after Earth. Hence, listen to my words carefully, do not
spend your precious time on the interest in worldly matters and bondage, and
practice the recitation of Ramanama Japa. Oh! Mind, you are not independent,
you are always bound by the Kala/Time,
Karma/deed, Guna/attributes of Sathvik, Rajasic, and Thamasik, the eternal truth
is that all the material matters/Prakrithi and life on the Earth undergoes
transformation and ruin, the Athman is Paramathma resides as the soul is the cause
of the functioning of mind, intellect, Chithth, Ahamkara, Karma and
Gnanendhriyas etc. is indestructible Purusha. Oh! Jeeva, you have no control on
Kala/time, Karma/deeds, and Guna/attributes, that are the cause for the
sufferings and miseries of worldly existence, the moment you start reciting the
Ramanama and his endless glories, the Kala, Karma, and Guna leave their
influence on you. Every one craves to achieve Sidhdhi/supernatural powers
without taking up any austerities or hard work, how it would be possible? The
Kali era has taken control of the virtues, disciplines, moralities of the
Jeeva, therefore no one is freed from the accumulated sins, the only way to get
rid of these Papasamooha is practice the Sri Ramanama Japa. The love and belief
in the recitation of Ramanama would destroy Kalimalagrasitha Jeeva/drenched in
impurities of Kama, Krodha, Lobha, Moha, Madha, Mathshcharya, and Shabdha, Roopa, Rasa, Sparsha, Gandha,
ultimately it would bring the serenity of mind. The recitation of Ramanama liberated
the sinner Ramari Dhashagreevah, and the impurities of Tulsidas and purified
him.”
Sri Tulsidas Maharaj continues “Oh! Jeeva,
the fruitfulness of life is the practice of sincere love and devotion at the
lotus feet of Lord Sri Ramachandra, and the recitation of Ramanama Japa which
would bring all the righteousness in the life. The Veda and scriptures highly
recommend austerities, Japa, Tapa, Yaga, Yoga, Gnana, Vairagya, and various
religious and spiritual rites, that are extremely good, but difficult to
perform in the Kali Yuga. Oh! Tulsidas, do not keep false apprehension, you are
not independent, you are the servant of that supreme Bhramam resides as a soul in
you, hence surrender at the lotus feet of Paramathma Paramabhramam Sri Ramachandra,
it would bring fruitfulness to your life.”
