Sri Vinaya Pathrika – Sri Tulsidas Maharaj – The sufferings of worldly existence/Samsara

 



Chapter - 103 -Sri Vinaya Patrika  - The sufferings of worldly existence/Samsara


Sri Tulsidas Maharaj speaks “ Oh! Prabho, you are the Shiromani of wealth, you are the source of wealth and prosperity. Whoever taken shelter at your lotus feet would achieve an abundance of auspiciousness and wealth, after that they need not spread hands before anyone, or ask for anything or desire to achieve. Oh! Prabho, the Dhaithya, Dhanavas,  Devatha, Muni, and Manushya, are not generous like you, they always expect something in return. Oh! Koshaladheesha, you are too kind and compassionate to your devotees, you are Kalpathru to them. You easily get pleased to your devotees, cannot bear the distress of them. You had several incarnations such as wild boar, half-lion and half-man, giant tortoise, fish, etc. in all that you have proved the magnanimous nature of you. The poor twice-born Sudhama approached you with a handful of flattened rice, you have provided him an abundance of wealth and richness. Oh! Ram, you have fulfilled all the desires of Vibheeshana, Sugreevah, Shabari, and Hanuman, they have taken shelter at your lotus feet without any expectation or desires. Oh! Dhayanidhe, Tulsi is getting tortured by the Asharoopi Pishchini of interest in worldly matters, wealth, richness, money, fame, attachment to wife, children, relatives, and companion, Ahamkara and Mamakara, Kama, Krodha, Lobha, Moha, Madha, and Mathshcharya, etc. my mind and intellect easily gets wedged on the infinite Nama, Roop Dhrishya,  and taking excessive pleasure in the Sabdha, Sparsha, Rasa, Roopa, and Gandha, eventually getting desperate and disappointed, hurling myself into extreme grief and pain. Oh! Prabho, kindly liberate me from the sufferings of the worldly existence, and provide me your Dharshan, so that I can make my life fruitful.”
