Chapter
– 150 -Sri Vinaya Pathrika – The
significance of devotion to get rid of sufferings of Samsara and Samsarachakra
Sri Tulsidas Maharaj speaks “Oh!
Raghuvamshamani, when did I achieve your compassionate grace, so that I can get
rid of sufferings of Samsara and repeated births, like the hunter Valmiki who
was living a pathetic life, stealing the wealth of travelers in the wood, and
hunting down the animals was met the Sages in the forest and achieved their grace,
an untamed elephant Gajendra lived merrily
with the herds of female elephants in the forest of Chitrakoot, took great
pleasure in the pond was caught in the leg by a crocodile, although the family put
great effort to save his life went futile, finally, lost his entire power and
called out for Lord Hari was got liberated, the twice-born Ajamila who have abandoned the
Vedavihitha Karma and lived with the prostitute, while in the death bed cried
out ‘Narayana’ for his younger son, to protect from the dreadful emissaries of
Lord Yama was got liberated, in this way many more wicked and deceitful Jeevas
got liberated from the dreadful Samsara? Oh! Prabho, when will you accept me as
one of your devotees? when will you liberate me from the grief of Samsara? When
will you accept this sinner, Dheena, Heena? Oh! Prabho, I have taken several
births in different Yoni, and continued to perform various sinful deeds, did
not follow any of the spiritual or religious deeds prescribed in the Veda and
scriptures, kindly do not take them into your heart. Oh! Pathithapavan, you are
unconquerable, you are the knower of all, you are prominent in various fields.
Oh! Prabho, the protection of the Jeeva who have taken shelter at your lotus
feet is one of your foremost vows and it is one of your remarkable virtues as
well. Oh! Prabho, you are too compassionate to Jeeva, when will you shower your
compassionate grace upon me? Oh! Prabho, my mind, and intellect are swollen with
pride, jealousy, lust, desire, ego, and anger, I am surrounded by the dreadful
enemies of interest in material well-being and bodily pleasure, Ahamkara,
Mamakara, when will you destroy these wicked enemies and their clan, thereby protect
me from the grief of Samsara? Or Do you expect me to achieve Gnana, Vijjana,
and take up Yoga, Japa, Yajja, or do you look on my devotion at your lotus feet
and protect me from the sufferings of Samsara? Or do you leave Tulsidas
considering him as Neechashiromani/virtueless lacks austerities,
Shamadhamadhi/Sadhanarahith, deceitful and wicked, swollen with Ahamkara,
Mamakara, impurities of mind? Oh!
Prabho, if you abandon me after seeing the impurities in me, how do you prove
your virtues sung by the Veda and scriptures? Hence, kindly shower your
compassionate grace upon me and protect me from the sufferings of Samsara and
Samsarachakra.”
