Chapter 190 – Sri Vinaya Patrika – Sharanagathi to achieve Bhagavath Kripa – Jeeva who is freed from the Bhoga/material welfare and bodily pleasure achieve the knowledge of Paramarththa, knowledge of ‘self’, it is hardly impossible to achieve Bhakti without Gnana/wisdom

 

Sri Tulsidas Maharaj speaks “Oh! Prabho,  your ardent devotees Lord Hanuman, Lord Shiva, Lakshman, and Bharath witnessed your pleasing nature, virtues, and disciplines, hence their heart is the dwelling place of pure love and devotion / Premaroopi Kalpavruksha resembles you, it is flowering and yielding fruits in abundance to them. Whoever understands the Paramarththa Thaththva, the very existence of the soul, and the all-pervasive nature of Bhramam, their heart would fill with the Bhagavath Prema, and it is the sole source of Paramanandha/eternal bliss. Oh! Prabho, you have considered Lord Shiva as your Lord, and Lord Hanuman as your great companion and Lakshman and Bharath as your lovely brothers and all of them venerate you as their Lord. The Swami/Lord and the Sevak/attendant love each other unconditionally, and it remains unbroken, as pure love is a slow and undisclosed nature not to get tarnished or lost. Sage Shuka, Sanakadhis, Prahaladha, are Paramaviraktha achieved Ananyabhakthi at your lotus feet, without the abandonment of interest in worldly matters, it is impossible to achieve pure devotion. The Paramavairagin, who is freed from the Bhoga/material welfare and bodily pleasure achieve the knowledge of Paramarththa, knowledge of ‘self’, it is hardly impossible to achieve Bhakti without Gnana/wisdom. Oh! Prabho, Gnana is impossible to achieve without your Kripa, it cannot be achieved with the Sadhanas, Yoga, Yaga, etc. hence the intelligent Jeeva leave all the Sadhanas and take shelter at your doorsteps. Oh! Prabho, Veda is incompetent to eulogize your glories and praises ‘Nethi Nethi Nethi’/incomparable, the scriptures describe endless glories of you, hence surrender/Sharanagathi at your lotus feet are the only way to achieve the knowledge of Paramarththa. Therefore, I have taken shelter in the ‘Ramanama’, and I affirm that it would provide all the auspiciousness to the Jeeva who have taken refuge in it, because Tulsi had achieved relief from the grief and sufferings of Samsara, got rid of redundant thoughts and achieved the serenity of mind.”
