Chapter
– 144 -Sri Vinaya Pathrika – Bhagavathprapthi - practice to perceive the
all-pervasive Bhramam in the living and non-living things, experience his
presence in it, and it is Bhakti/devotion,
Gnana and Vairagya
Sri Tulsidas Maharaj speaks “Oh! Mind,
listen to me carefully, nothing has gone out of your reach, still, you have time
to take up the practice the devotion at the lotus feet of Lord Sri Ramachandra, recite the sacred name of the Lord, abandon the interest in worldly matters and bodily
pleasures, Ahamkara, and Mamakara, if you really want to taste the succulent
fruit of Bhagavathroopi Kalpavruksha. Oh! Jeeva, practice the four austerities
firmly to get rid of the grief of Samsara 1) practice to perceive ‘Oneness in
all’/Samatha, and abandon the Dhvandhabhava/dualities, 2) understand the eternal truth Bhrama Sathyam
and Jagath Mithya/ Universe and its living and non-living things are
Maya/destructible Prakrithi and the all-pervasive Bhramam is indestructible
Purusha, hence abandon the attachment to material matters and people that causes
grief in its absence 3) ponder over the supreme Bhramam resides as a soul in the
Jeeva/Athmamanthan/Bhramavichara 4) Santhsamagama/Sathsanga, be in the
association of noble-soul to achieve the knowledge of self/Bhramavidhya,
Sacchidhanandhaswaroopa Paramathma Parambhramam, and take up austerities, vows,
Shamadhamadhi etc. to get rid of impurities of Kama, Krodha, Lobha, Moha,
Madha, Mathshcharya, thereby achieve the serenity of mind. Oh! Jeeva, practice
the recitation of’ Ramanama’, contemplate upon the supreme Lord Sri
Ramachandra, bow down before the lotus feet of the Lord and selflessly serve
the Lord and his devotees, practice perceiving the
all-pervasive Bhramam Kripasagara, Janakivallabha Lord Ramachandra in the
living and non-living things, experience his presence in it, and it is
Bhakti/devotion, Gnana, and Vairagya as well. Oh! Jeeva, I promise
you that this would make the Lord Sri Ramachandra highly pleased with you,
hence put into practice those austerities and recitation of Ramanama right now.
Oh! Tulsidas, it is the advice of Lord of Lords, Lord Mahadeva to the Jeeva, it
is the highly propitious method to achieve nearness to supreme Lord/Paramathmaprapthi/Bhagavathprapthi,
thereby get rid of grief and anguish of Samsara, and Samsarachakra as well.”
