Chapter -67 -Sri Vinaya Patrika - Sharanagathi to get rid of Sarparoopi
Samsara – Sarvam Bhramamayam
Sri Tulsidas Maharaj speaks “Oh! Hari, you
are flawless, I have committed various sins, hence I am a grave sinner, I have
been chasing for material welfare and bodily pleasure during day and night, have
accumulated wealth, possession, money, richness, fame, and attached to children,
wife, relatives, and companion, in this way, I have driven afar from the Paramathma
resides as a soul in me, I did not practice any austerities, Japa, Tapa, Sadhana,
Swadhyaya, Athmavichara, Shamadhamadhi, Dhaya, Sathyam, Shaucham, Dhanam, etc. Therefore,
I am certain that I cannot desire Moksha not even in my dreams. Oh! Prabho,
my Indhriyas were never been restraint, they are Anarththaroopi/trap, easily
get attached to Shabdha/sounds, Sparsha/touch, Roopa/appearance, Rasa/taste,
Gandh/smell, etc. the ignorant Jeeva who has no control over these senses, get
overthrown into the deep well of darkness. Oh! Prabho, I am completely driven insane
by the infinite Nama Roopa Dhrishya, like the dog and donkey, due to my
ignorance, always been engaged in immoral activities and never been
thought of my goodness. The impurities of Kama, Krodha, Lobha, Moha, Madha, and
Mathshcharya are enemies of the Jeeva, I am drenched in impurities, hence there
is no one inferior than me. Oh! Bhagavan, the Veda, and Purana highly eulogizes
your virtues and glories, you are all-pervasive Bhrmamam resides as a soul in the
Jeeva, you perform various amusements for the welfare of the Jeeva, I am a
Vivekaheena soaked in Papakarma hence I am not able to envision you. Oh!
Karunanidhan, I am an ocean of sins, you are Antharyami, the knower of all. Oh!
Lord of Garuda, I have bitten by the venomous Sarparoopi Samsara, this Tulsidas
have taken shelter at your lotus feet, the venomous serpent of Samsara cannot withstand
before your celestial vehicle Garuda, kindly shower your compassion upon me.”
Sri Tulsidas Maharaj speaks “Oh! Hari, I
have not performed any austerities, Shamadhamadhi, Swadhyaya, Athmavichara, etc.
all my Sadhanas were mere show off as the teeth of an elephant, that has no use
for the elephant. The elephant teeth will not give any assistance to chew its
meal, it remains as a decorative piece forever, in the same manner, my Karma/deeds
were mere show off, that has no use for myself. Oh! Prabho, I am not following
anything that I preach, If I started following them, I would have crossed the
unfathomable ocean of worldly existence easily, I am not following anything
that I preach, my practices and lectures are too different, then how can I expect
to achieve your lotus feet or Paramapadham? The peacock is stunningly
beautiful, it has a beautiful voice like nectar, and attractive feathers, alas!
it takes pleasure in consuming venomous serpent, I have been following the
same, my lectures and disciplines were diverse. Oh! Raghuveer, you get pleased
with the people who are kind and honest, you are beloved of Santh, Mahathma,
noble-souls, who are freed from impurities of Kama, Krodha, Lobha, Moha, Madha,
and Mathshcharya, they have no interest in worldly matters or bondage, freed
from Ahamkara and Mamakara. They take immense pleasure in the contemplation and
meditation of your lotus feet, they are extremely courageous freely wander all
over the Earth, have nothing to lose or nothing to gain, they envision the
all-pervasive supreme Bhramam/Sarvam Bhramamayam in whatever they have witnessed.
Oh! Prabho, Tulsi is Gunaheena, how can I please you? Oh! Raghunath, I have
realized that I am drenched in worldly matters and bondage, lack of virtues, so
deserved to be in the Samsara, but you are the ocean of mercy, how could you
leave this Tulsi in the unfathomable ocean of Samsara? Therefore, kindly shower
your compassionate grace upon me.”
