Chapter 192 – Sri Vinaya Patrika –‘Tulsi
Thu Mero Hai’
Sri Tulsidas Maharaj speaks “Oh! Ram,
kindly keep me in your shelter, Oh! Prabho, there is no deity as compassionate
and kind to the distressed Jeeva who have taken shelter at your lotus feet, you
are the protector of the Jeeva in the past, present, and future, you are the one
who protects the Jeeva in the three worlds, Oh! Prabho, you are that
Sharanagatharakshak and have pleasing nature, you haven’t abandoned the
ignorant, illusioned, perplexed, Jeeva. You
have protected the unfortunate and grave sinners who have taken shelter at your
lotus feet. Oh! Prabho, you are eminent, I am an ordinary Jeeva having innate
impurities of Kama, Krodha, Lobha, Moha, Madha, Mathshcharya, Ahamkara, and
Mamakara, my mind easily gets attracted to infinite Nama, Roopa, and Dhrishya, I
have been chasing after material welfare and bodily pleasure that has
impermanent nature. The evilness of the Kali era influenced me to perform rites for material welfare, thereby drenched
in Mahamoha, I have been in the association of wicked and deceitful people, I
have been forced to commit sins by words, mind, and deed, furthermore, I am
anxious and troubled should not get shackled by the wickedness of Kali era, Oh!
Prabho, I am that Jeevathma, inseparable from the Paramathma, Oh! Balihari, why
don’t you whisper once in anger or carelessly or with the smile ‘Tulsi Thu Mero
Hai/Tulsi you are mine’. Oh! Prabho, I am certain that with these soothing
words I would get rid of sufferings and the grief of Samsara from the root in no time
and achieve the serenity of mind, and liberation from the Samsara
Chakra/ Garbhavasa Dhukha as well.”
253) Ram! Rakhiye Saran Rakhi Aaye Sab Dhin | Bidhith Thrilok Thihu Kal Na Dhayalu Dhoojo Aarath
Pranathpala Ko Hai Prabhu Bin || Lale Pale Poshe Aalasi Abhagi Adhi Nath
! Pai Anathanisau Bhaye Na Urin | Swami Samarath Yeso Hau Thiharo Jaiso
Thaiso Kalachal Heri Hothi Hiye Dhani Dhin || Kheejji Reejji Bihamsi Anakha
Kyo Hu Yek Bar ‘Tulasi Thu Mero’ Bali Kahiyath Kin? Jahi Sool Nirmool Hohi Sukha
Anukool Maharaj Rama! Ravari Sau Thehi Cchin||
