Chapter 170 – Sri Vinaya Patrika – Sri
Ramanama for Bhagavath Prapthi/nearness to supreme Lord
Sri Tulsidas Maharaj speaks “Oh! Prabho,
you are most compassionate to Jeeva, I have no one to protect me, who will
listen to my wretched cries? Oh! Prabho, I haven’t taken up Sadhana, Sathyam,
Dhaya, Shamam, Dhanam, Shaucham, Ahimsa, Astheyam, Bhramacharyam, Arjjavam,
Thithiksha, Dhrithi, Kshama, etc. I have been drenched in the interest in
worldly matters and attachment to people, infinite Nama Roopa Dhrishya, I have
lost serenity of mind, swollen with Ahamkara, Mamakara, Kama, Krodha, Lobha,
Moha, Madha, Masthscharya, etc. but greedily earn to achieve that Paramathma
Premasukha which is beyond Moksha. I have no one to express my desires, will
they listen to this Sadhanaheen Tulsi? Oh! Prabho, I have been hurling into
different Yoni, taken several births as an animal, birds, Manushya, Keeta, Devatha,
Rakshasa etc. and undergoing excruciating pain and grief of Samsara, Oh!
Prabho, I do not yearn for Purushararththa, which is beyond my reach due to the
absence of austerities and Tapasya, you are capable to provide whatever you
feel appropriate. Oh! Prabho, my desire is neither Moksha nor Purusharththa,
all that I want to remain as your playmate, like a doll/ Pakshi, Pashu, Vriksha, Pathanga, pebbles, etc. in
your hands. Oh! Prabho, I do not yearn for Moksha or Purusharththa I want to be
a playmate in your hands, even if I fall into hell, I won’t feel the pain, I
feel blissful to remain Chethan or Achethan in your hands. Oh! Prabho, I do not
want to get separated from your lotus feet, I want to remain at your lotus feet
always, therefore kindly promise me that you will fulfill my desire to remain
close to Your lotus feet.”

Mohi Ko Hai Kahi Kahi Hai? Rankaraja Jyo Manko
Manorath Kehi Sunayi Sukha Lahihai || Jama Jathana Joni
Sankat Sab Sahe Dhusaha Aru Sahihai | Moko Agama Sugama Thumko Prabhu
Thau Phal Chari Na Chahihai || Khelibeko
Khagamriga Tharu Kankar Hyai Ravaro Ram
Hai Rahihai | Yahi Nathe Narakahum Sachu
Ya Binu Paramapadhahu Dhukha Dhahihai ||
Ithani Jiya Lalasa Dasake Kahath Panahi
Gahihai | Dheejai Bachan Ki Hridhaya Aaniye
‘Tulasi Ko Pan Nibahihai’ ||
