Chapter 171 – Sri Vinaya Patrika –
Sri Tulsidas Maharaj speaks “Oh! Prabho,
you are Dheenabandhu, where did I find a benevolent deity like you? Oh! Prabho,
you are too kind to Jeeva, even if he/she drenched in Mahamoha immersed in the
worship of other deities to achieve wealth and happiness in the Samsara. Oh!
Prabho, I do not feel like approaching other deities and cry before them, I
have no interest in achieving material welfare or happiness, all that I want to
achieve nearness at your lotus feet/Ananya Bhakti. Oh! Prabho, none of the deities are
compassionate as you, or capable to remove the grief of Samsara, so I do not
beg before them, keep quiet before them. Oh! Prabho, I did not perform any
righteous deed, if anything performed due to the grace of Santh Mahathma, I
take the entire recognition upon me and publicize them immediately. Oh! Prabho,
I am drenched in Kama, Krodha, Lobha, Moha, Madha, Mathshcharya, Ahamkara and
Mamakara, but I portrait myself as your sincere devotee before the world. Oh!
Prabho, you are the knower of all, you are that Sacchidhanandhaswaroopa
Paramathma Parambhramam reside as a soul in the Jeeva, sole witness, and source of
the functioning of the mind, intellect, Prana, Chiththa, Ahamkara, Karma and
Gnanendhriyas etc. Oh! Prabho, you know the heart of Tulsidas, still, I am
making an effort to convey my messages, kindly remove the impurities Ahamkara
and Mamakara from my heart, make me apt for standing before your door-steps,
singing in praise of your virtues with sincere devotion and faith.”
