Chapter
- 74 -Sri Vinaya Patrika - Samsara is Mrigathrishna - The Paramathma/cowherd
fastens the Pashuroopi Jeevathma with the rope of Paramarththa Thaththva
Sri Tulsidas Maharaj speaks “Oh! Jeeva, you
have been afar from the lotus feet of Sri Ramachandra, and you have wasted the
whole life, getting attached to the material matters, wealth, richness, money,
fame, possessions, attachment to wife, children, family, relatives, companions,
etc. without knowing the Ahamkara and Mamakara on the above-said material
matters and people are impermanent and have fleeting nature, there is no assurance
that it would be with you till the end of your life. How much happiness you
have achieved from the above-said worldly matters? Are you satisfied with it?
Oh! Ignorant, you never get satisfied with the interest in material welfare and
bodily pleasure. You have been flowing through the different Yonis of birds,
animals, reptiles, and humans, and have taken several births and had gone
through the endless miseries and sorrows, due to your ignorance, insatiable
desires and lust, hence now on correct yourself from the mistakes you have committed.
Oh! Jeeva, you have earned the rarest birth as a human with the Prarabdha Karma
you have achieved, do not waste it, leave your desire to climb up on the pinnacle of the sky, and no one dared to do it, the worldly matters are
infinite, your greed to chase these worldly matters of infinite Nama Roopa
Dhrishya will not be successful. Oh! Tulsi, if you earn for eternal bliss,
free from afflictions, fear and trepidations, then sing in praise of various
glorious legends of Lord Rama and take shelter at the lotus feet of Lord Sri
Ramachandra.”
Sri Tulsidas Maharaj continues “Oh! Jeeva,
I am repeatedly cautioning you with the most promising, pure, honest words, why
do not you get into your mind? Ponder over it and follow the righteous way,
take shelter at the lotus feet of Lord Ramachandra. The Samsara is the
storehouse of diversified matter like good and bad, evil and pious, who do not
want to achieve goodness in their lives? No one is free from happiness and
sorrow, the supreme Lord Bhrama who is the creator, and the living things are
bound to undergo happiness and sorrow, even the Keeta and Pathanga are not
freed from it. The Jeevathma are Pashuroopi who is bound by ignorance and
impurities, and the Paramathma Parambhramam is the cowherd fasten the Jeeva
with the knowledge of Paramarththa, eventually, the Pashuroopi Jeevathma get rid
of the Karma. The interest in worldly matters and attachment to the material
matters and people are a burden, in fact, there is no happiness in it, the
ignorant find pleasure in it, Oh! Ignorant Jeeva, you have been suffering from worldly existence so long and hurling again and again into the vicious
cycles of rebirth due to your ignorance, desires, and lust. Oh! Jeeva, no one gets
satisfied or quenched their thirst from the Mrigathrishna/reflection of the
water in the desert, Samsara is Mrigathrishna, it is an illusion/Maya, and there is
nothing real other than Paramathma resides as a soul in the Jeeva. Oh! Tulsi, you
take shelter at the lotus feet of Lord Sri Ramachandra, that could bring
eternal bliss and serenity of mind.”
