Sri Vinaya Patrika – Sri Tulsidas Maharaj – Paramarththa Thaththva -The selfless service to Mahathmas and saintly people - Kripa of twice-born, Hari, Guru, and Santh for liberation from repeated births

 



Chapter - 82 -Sri Vinaya Pathrika  -  Paramarththa Thaththva -The selfless service to Mahathmas and saintly people - Kripa of twice-born, Hari, Guru, and Santh for liberation from repeated births

 

Sri Tulsidas Maharaj speaks “Oh! Jeeva, the selfless service to Mahathma and Santhvrindh would remove the Dhvandhabhava /dualities, such as grief and joy, happiness and sorrow, respect and disrespect, gain and loss etc., eventually it would remove the fears and anxiousness of worldly existence. The Paramarththa Thaththva, the knowledge of ‘self’, the all-pervasive Bramham resides as a soul in the Jeeva is indestructible Purusha, Jeevathma is Paramathma/oneness-in-all, the Prakrithi is destructible, the material matters and people have fleeting nature, this knowledge would remove the interest in worldly matters such as possession, fame, richness, money, wealth, etc. attachment to wife, children, relatives, and companions, etc. Oh! Jeeva, practice the worship at the lotus feet of Lord Raghunatha, contemplate and meditate upon him to achieve the Sadhusangama. Whoever achieved the knowledge of ‘self’, and perceives the Paramathma Parambhramam resides as soul, would become Vilakshana/unique, immerses in a supreme state of bliss, freely move without any fear or anxiousness all over the Earth, the unique nature of Bhramajjani/Bhramavithth is Santhosha/happiness, Samatha/equality, Shanthi/serenity, perfect control over sense/freed from Ahamkara and Mamakara, impurities of Kama, Krodha, Lobha, Moha, Madha, and Mathshcharya. These Mahathmas are freed from Dhehathma Bodha, elevated to the superior status of ‘Aham Bhramasmi’, they are pure immerses in the Sacchidhanandhaswaroopa Paramathma Parambhramam, are freed from the Samsararoga/fears and anxieties of worldly existence. These Mahathmas are freed from Harsha/happiness or Shoka/sorrow, ultimately these Mahathmas would become the purifier of the three worlds.”

 

Sri Tulsidas Maharaj continues “ Oh! Jeeva, whoever practices intense devotion, meditation, contemplation, Shamadhamadhi, observes silence and celibacy, practice truthfulness, kindness, non-violence, control of sense, purity, Swadhyaya, Athmavichara, etc. and worship at the lotus feet of Lord Sri Raghunatha would achieve nobility, and  whoever sincerely follow the command of preceptor, selflessly serve the Mahathmas and Sadhus, perform their duties and responsibilities prescribed in the Veda and have the clear-cut knowledge of Dharma and Adharma would achieve Purusharththa/Dharma, Arththa, Kama, and Moksha. The Sadhaka who abandons the interest in worldly matters, and sincerely undertake austerities with the grace of supreme Lord, would achieve Sacchidhanandha Paramathma/Adhvaitha Bhramam, and immerse in supreme bliss. The ignorant drenched in the material matters of Prakrithi constantly hurl into the deep well of grief and sorrows, cannot even dream of Paramanandha/supreme bliss. The permanent truth is Paramathma Parambhramam resides as a soul in the Jeeva, and the realization of Athmaswaroopa is Paramanandha, that could protect the Jeeva from the vicious cycles of rebirth, and it is impossible to achieve without the Kripa of twice-born, Hari, Guru, and Santh. I am Tulsidas have already taken shelter at the lotus feet of Lakshmipathi, and singing in praise of him to get liberated from the vicious cycles of rebirth.”
