Chapter 177 – Sri Vinaya Patrika – The practice
of devotion to get rid of the grief of Samsara and Samsara Chakra/Garbhavasa
Dhukham
Sri Tulsidas Maharaj speaks “Oh! Ram, why I
am getting attaching to worldly matters, possession, richness, money,
wealth, fame, children, wife, relatives and companion, etc? why I am getting
drawn to Vishayavisha? Why I am constantly chasing after material welfare and
bodily pleasure? Why I am not getting freed from the anxiousness and fear of
Samsara? Why I have drawn afar from you? If I have achieved your compassionate
grace why would I feel worn out of grief and miseries of Samsara? Why would I
wander all over the world like Kabandha/headless/Masthakheen? Oh! Prabho, you
are all-pervasive supreme Bhramam resides as a soul in the Jeeva, you are the
source of the functioning of the mind, intellect, Ahamkara, Prana, Karma, and
Gnanendhriyas, etc. you are Karya, Karana, still, I haven’t practiced
devotion/Bhakti, Gnana, Vairagya. Oh! Prabho, your incomparable
virtues/Devadhurllabha heard from the Mahatmas and noble-souls, makes me ashamed
to stand before you, I am Dheen/distressed, Sadhanaheena/lacks Shamadhamadhi, austerities,
and virtues. Oh! Prabho, you are
Sacchidhanandhaswaroopa Paramathma Parambhramam, I am a sinful Jeeva, how could
I stand before you? Oh! Kripalu, you are the knower of All, hence you know Tulsi’s
discipline, habits, virtues, and all the secrets. Oh! Prabho, kindly shower
your compassionate grace upon the Dheen Heena Tulsi, and liberate me from the
sufferings of Samsara and Samsara Chakra as well.”
