Chapter
- 76 -Sri Vinaya Pathrika - The Ramanama Japa for Bhukthi and Mukthi –
Sharanagathi for getting rid of anxiousness, fear of Samsara, sufferings of
worldly existence and the vicious cycle
of rebirth
Sri Tulsidas Maharaj speaks “Oh! Jeeva, you
have attained the rarest birth as a human, which is difficult to obtain even
for the deities, after all these, you have kept yourself afar from the supreme
Lord Sri Ramachandra. Oh! Jeeva, most parts of your life have been spent taking
pleasure in the material matters, richness, wealth, money, fame, possession, attachment
to wife, children, relatives, and companion, without the knowledge that all the
material matters undergo the constant transformation and ruin/fleeting nature. Oh!
Jeeva, you have been chasing the material pleasure and bodily pleasure of
Samsara like Mrigathrishna/reflection of water in the desert which cannot
quench the thirst, you cannot get satisfied with it, on the other hand, your
greed did not stop a bit. Oh! Jeeva,
you have drenched in impurities of Kama, Krodha, Lobha, Moha, Madha,
Mathshcharya, swollen with Ahamkara and Mamakara, and excessive interest in the
Shabdha, Sparsha, Rasa, Roopa and Gandha. Oh! Jeeva, you have achieved birth in
the superior clan and attractive body to earn Dharma, Arththa, Kama, and Moshka/Purusharththa. The
intellectuals, wise, Mahathma utilizes the birth in the superior clan and
attractive body to achieve Paramapadham/supreme abode, and gest freed from the
vicious cycles of rebirth, alas! you have mistaken these components and utilized them for achieving material welfare and bodily pleasure. The prominent Bharathvarsha
is the heart of Sanathana Dharma, you have Devanadhi Ganga surrounded by the beautiful landscape of rich natural beauty, where Santh Mahathma gathers in
huge numbers to conduct Athmachinthan and Athma Manthan. Oh! Ignorant Jeeva,
you have not found interest in the Sadhusanth Samagama/association with the
Mahatmas, you have desired to consume the fruit of Vishayavisharoopi Janma and
Marana. You have not used any of the Sadhana to purify yourself from the
vicious cycles of the rebirth of impurities of the mind, even after achieving all these
beautiful opportunities, you have not utilized for good, instead, you have polluted
them. Oh! Jeeva, listen to me carefully about the Paramarththa Thaththva, which
could bring Bhukthi and Mukthi as well. The Veda eulogizes Lord Sri Ramachandra,
Veda is the essence of the all-pervasive Supreme Lord. Oh! Ignorant, leave playing
with the Vishayavisharoopi venomous serpent, it won’t leave you unhurt. The all-pervasive
Paramathma Parambhramam resides as a soul in you is the sole cause for the
functioning of the mind, intellect, Chithth, Ahamkara, Prana, Karma and
Gnanendhriyas, it is pure, eternal bliss, changeless, unblemished, free from
afflictions, and it has neither birth nor death, hence leave your interest in
worldly matters and bondage, and surrender to that Paramathma who is eternal
bliss. Oh! Ignorant, the Athmaroopi/Lord Ramachandra introduced you to father,
mother, preceptor, wife, children, relatives, and companion, alas! you have forgotten
the very Paramathma who is the source of Prana. You have vested interest in the
relationships you have formed, and completely forgotten the magnanimous Prabhu Paramathma
who resides as a soul in you and did not recognize the Parambhramam
Sacchidhanandhaswaroopa Paramathma in you. Oh! Jeeva, the compassionate
Lord Hari is not far from you, he resides in your heart. Whoever abandons the wickedness, Ahamkara
Mamakara and take shelter at him would achieve the grace of him. Oh! Ignorant,
you have abandoned the Paramathma Parambhramam and cemented your relationships
with the people and material matters that have impermanent nature, and whenever
it gets destroyed and separated, you have been pushed to extreme distress and
sorrow. Oh! Jeeva, leave your ignorance and illusions and perceive that
Sacchindhanandhaswaroopa Paramathma in your heart, he is keenly observing you
and waiting to shower compassionate grace upon you. The Supreme Lord who resides
as the soul is the protector of Jeeva, whoever sings in praise of him would be
praised by that Lord, he is Jagadheeshwara, and source of Prana as well. The
supreme Lord Raghunatha is Janakinath, he is the essence of Lord Bhrama, Lord
Vishnu and Lord Shiva, he is Anandhaswaroopa Paramathma resides as a soul in you.
He is Lord of Lords, Lord of the Universe and its living and non-living things,
although he is too kind and compassionate to his devotees. Oh! Jeeva, the
supreme Lord Raghunatha is beloved of Lord Shiva, he is too amiable, embraced
the Kevat/ferryman shed tears of joy and immersed in a state of ecstasy. The Siddhas,
Muniganas, Santhvrindh affirms that Lord Raghunatha gets highly pleased with
the love of His devotees, no other deities get easily pleased like him. He
dearly loved the Pakshiraj Jatayu, Vanaras/Hanuman, Shabari, Rakshas/Vibheeshana,
Jambhavan etc. and admired them, whenever he recollects their love, he becomes
shy and speechless. Oh! Jeeva, I have described the most impressive, pleasant,
kind, and compassionate nature of that supreme Lord Sri Raghunath, mark my
words and always carries it in your heart, and remember him so that all your
anxiousness will get disappeared. The supreme Lord Raghunath would be highly
pleased with your devotion, surrender at his lotus feet, abandoning interest in
worldly matters, Ahamkara and Mamakara. Oh! Tulsidas, take shelter at the lotus
feet of Sri Ramachandra with intense devotion and faith, you could perceive
that all-pervasive Parambhramam Paramathma in you, practice reciting Ramanama
Japa, worship Lord Rama and sing the glories and virtues of Ramachandra, and
completely surrender to him with mind, deed, and words at the lotus feet of
Jagadheeshwara Lord Sri Ramachandra, be a Bhramara/honey bee that take pleasure
at the lotus feet of Lord Sri Ramachandra, and fearlessly travel all over the
Earth.”
