Chapter
– 130 -Sri Vinaya Patrika – Seeking
pleasure in the Mithyaroopi Samsara is the cause of grief
Sri Tulsidas Maharaj speaks “Oh! Jeeva,
there is one and only promising companion, that is Lord Sri Ramachandra, he is
too kind and compassionate to Jeeva, he is most auspicious to his devotees. Oh!
Ignorant, all those relationships formed in this birth were to fulfill your
desires and pleasure with a selfish motive. The deities are too clever to look
upon the service and nobility of his devotee and provide the fruit of it. There
is no deity as kind and compassionate as Lord Raghunatha, he is the savior of
distressed Jeeva who is drenched in the Ahamkara and Mamakara, Oh! Jeeva,
seeking pleasure in the relationships has the same fate of 1) the Hiran/deer that get trapped into the
hunter’s net by searching pleasure in the sounds of melodious music, 2) the fireflies get attracted to the fire
and get burned into ashes, 3) the love for
water makes the fishes cannot live without it, 4) Chathaka birds yearn for the
presence of full moon that has to undergo waning and waxing periods, it pushes
the Chathaka into grief 5) The sunrises cause to bloom the lotus flowers, and the
sunset causes to fade, putting them in utter despair 6) Chathaka yearningly look at
the rain clouds for water droplets from Swathinakshathra, gets excited
listening to the thunder with no assurance of rain, while watching the
lightning they may get hurt and die. Oh! Ignorant, most of the time the relationships
formed to achieve happiness become the cause for the sorrow. Oh! Jeeva, in my
opinion, the love and devotion at the lotus feet of Lord Raghunatha is the only
one that could provide perpetual happiness, he is too kind, pleasing, and Lord
of distressed Jeeva. He gets highly pleased with the simple gestures of love
and devotion, he is promising and forgiving as well. The Pakshi Jatayu and Shabari
were considered as father and mother, achieved liberation with their sincere
devotion to Lord Ram. He made Vanaras and bears as dearest companions,
considered Guha as equivalent to Bharatha, and embraced him, he is too kind to
protect and liberate even the sinners. The Veda, Scripture, intellectuals, sing
in praise of nobleness of that supreme Lord Sri Ramachandra as Dheenabandhu,
and Bhakthavathsala. Whoever recites the sacred name ‘Rama’ achieves the
serenity of mind, and gets liberated from all the sins and Samsarachakra, even
though he/she has committed mountain-sized Papa. The Kali era is full of
evilness and sins, mere listening to the Papasamooha makes the Jeeva sinner,
Oh! Prabho, Oh! Dheenabandhu, Oh! Raghuveer, you have made this Tulsidas as
your servant and protected from the sufferings of Samsara.”
