Chapter
-66 -Sri Vinaya Patrika - Bhramavidhya
is Bhramanandham
Sri Tulsidas Maharaj speaks “Oh! Madhava, how
did I get relieved from the shackles of desires and lust? Alas! even after
performing crores of Sadhanas like austerities, celibacy, silence, Shama,
Dhama, Sathyam, Dhaya, Swadhyaya, Athmavichara, etc. the desire for material welfare and
attachment to people, Ahamkara and Mamakara, lust and desires are not declining,
it is deep-rooted, finding it difficult to get destroyed, and one thing I have
understood clearly that as long as my desire and lust like Avidhya Maya does
not get destroyed, the realization of self and the knowledge of all-pervasive
Paramathma Parambhramam is impossible to achieve. The austerities, Swadhyaya,
Shamadhamadhi, observance of celibacy, silence, Athmavichara will not remove
the lust and desires if the Sadhana was not undertaken sincerely, the
observance of austerities, the performance of religious and spiritual rites becomes
mere show off, definitely it will not remove the impurities of the mind
or provide serenity. The cleansing physical body with the expensive ingredients
or decorating it with highly fragrant and attractive ingredients will not
remove the impurities of Kama, Krodha, Lobha, Moha, Madha, Mathshcharya, is a futile effort as attacking the snake inside the pit, will not work even if you
try all the possible methods. The mind and intellect are completely polluted by
the infinite Nama Roopa Dhrishya in the Universe, it is not easy to erase or
purify it. Oh! Tulsi, the grace of the supreme Lord and preceptor only could
remove the false perception and enlighten the Jeeva with the knowledge of
Bramham/Bhramavidhya, there is no other way to cross the unfathomable ocean of
worldly existence.”
Sri Tulsidas Maharaj continues “ Oh! Madhava,
your Maya is so powerful, difficult to obstruct without your compassion and kindness.
Oh! Prabho, heard of your powerful Maya, contemplating upon you, and determined
not to get trapped in your Maya and creating awareness among the people not to get
trapped in your Maya, alas! it is impossible to understand the real nature of
your Maya, until and unless the Jeeva achieve the knowledge of all-pervasive
Bramham resides as a soul/Paramathma, the knowledge of self, by the time your
Maya Mohjanitha Samsara might have swamped the Jeeva with endless troubles and
grief. Oh! Prabho, the Bhramavidhya, knowledge of all-pervasive Bhramam is
nectar provides the serenity of mind, removes redundant thoughts, if the Jeeva had
the opportunity to take the taste in Bhramanandharoopi nectar then they won’t
take pleasure in Mrigathrishna, Samsararoopi trap or wander all over chasing material
welfare or bodily pleasure, like whoever has the possession of Chinthamani/precious
gem do not wander around in search of glass pieces. The Jeeva who have achieved
the knowledge of all-pervasive Bhramam reside as a soul, do not get trapped
into the Vishayaroopi Samsara. The
Bhramavidhya removes the illusion, imparts the eternal truth that all those infinite
Nama Roopa Dhrishya in the Jagrathavastha has fleeting nature as in the
Swapnavastha. The practice of Gnana, Bhakti, Vairagya, and all those Sadhanas
remove the impurities and illusion of the Jeeva. But, Tulsidas firmly believes
that the ignorance gets destroyed only with the grace of Lord Sri Hari, the
Bhagavath Kripa is Paramasadhana, and unquestionably it is equally distributed
among the living and non-living things in the Universe, all that we need to
have faith in it.”
