Chapter – 38 (1) – Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Bala Kanda – The beautiful lake of Sri Ramacharitha Manas remains inaccessible to those who have no faith or devotion in Hari, Guru, Granth

 

The beautiful lake of Sri Ramacharitha Manas is inaccessible to those unfortunate Jeeva who are drenched in worldly matters, Ahamkara and Mamakara, and people who have no faith and devotion in scriptures or Veda, or Santh, Mahathma, noble-souls/Hari, Guru, Granth. It remains inaccessible to all those who have no devotion or faith in Lord Sri Ramachandra, and the Santh Mahathma and have no interest in the association with the ascetics who are the reservoir of supreme knowledge. Even if the Jeeva take so much effort to approach to reach the beautiful Manasarovar of Sri Ramacharitha, the drowsiness like the enemy does not leave them, the extreme coldness in the unfathomable water of this lake would force the Jeeva back out from taking a dip in it, or take taste in the nectar-like water in it finally forces them to return with hollow pride.  If anyone asks their experience of the visit to the glorious Manasarovar, all they have to portray the unpleasantness and gets satisfied. Whoever achieved the grace of Lord Sri Ramachandra would take immense pleasure in the journey to the stunning Manasarovar of Sri Ramacharitha, without any hindrance, and the fortunate Jeeva take a dip in the bottomless water of the lake, and get rid of Thribidha Thapa/Adhidheivik, Adhibhauthik and Adhyathmik. The Jeeva who have intense devotion and faith upon the lotus feet of Lord Sri Ramachandra would never leave the Mansarovar, once taken the taste in the nectar-like Sri Ramacharitha, engage in austerities, vow, celibacy, Shamadhamadhi, Swadhyaya, Athmavichara, and live in the flock of Sadhu Santh Mahathma who takes immense pleasure in the Lake with their intellect on the ideas conceived from the mind of the poet. The sacred river Sarayu which is the source of supreme bliss, embellish the city of Ayodhya, and this sacred river has Veda, Shastra, Purans as its two banks. This beautiful river resembles Manasarovar, eradicate all the impurities of the Kali era, and uproot the evils whether it is as tiny as grass or massive as a tree.
