Chapter - 116 -Sri Vinaya Patrika  – The practice of devotion to avoid hurling into the Samsara Chakra/cycle of birth and death

 

Sri Tulsidas Maharaj speaks “Oh! Ignorant, you haven’t formed any relationship with the Supreme Lord Sri Ramachandra, you have been drenched in the interest in worldly matters and bodily pleasures, Ahamkara, Mamakara, Kama, Krodha, Lobha, Moha, Madha, Mathshcharya, and chasing after pleasures from the infinite Shabdha, Sparsha, Rasa, Roopa, and Gandha. You have completely forgotten the all-pervasive Sacchidhanandhaswaroopa Paramathma Paramabhramam resides as a soul in you, even after all these, the Parmathma did not leave you. Oh! Ignorant, you have taken several births in different Yoni, on each and every birth you have formed various relationships/mother, father, children, wife, grandchildren, aunt, uncle, brother, etc. all that have momentary life, cannot follow you anywhere because your body is going burn into ashes immediately after the Prana leaves, Oh! Ignorant, your desires and attachments in the several births caused to throw you into the vicious cycles of Samsara. Oh! Ignorant, you have been yearning for the welfare of yourself and your dependents, your wish for the wellbeing were limited to your family and yourself, but Janakivallabha Lord Sri Ramachandra yearns for the welfare of All. He is supreme soul/Paramathma Parambhramam resides as a soul in the Jeeva is the sole source of the functioning of the mind, intellect, Chiththa, Ahamkara, Panchaprana, Karma, and Gnanendhriyas, etc. hence he is dearer to Jeeva. Oh! Ignorant, you have forgotten that Paramathma in you, and rushed after the material welfare and bodily pleasures that were already enjoyed in several births.  Oh! Ignorant, He is all-pervasive supreme Lord Sri Ramachandra, he is the protector of the soul and most promising to Jeeva, you haven’t gained anything by abandoning that Paramathma. Oh! Tulsi, if you are wise, then you have to pick up from where you have left, practice devotion at the lotus feet of Seethapathi Sri Ramachandra, because even the fearful Jeeva gain the courage after several setbacks in their lives.”
