Chapter – 35– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Aranya
Kanda– Sabari advises Rama to proceed to Pampa Lake
Lord Rama speaks “Oh! Noble soul, the third
form of devotion is selfless service at the lotus feet of one’s own preceptor,
and the devotees of the Lord. The fourth form of devotion is singing in praise
of the Lord, and worship of the Lord without expecting a personal gain. The fifth form of
devotion is highly eulogized by Veda, is the constant meditation and
contemplation, pronouncing my name ‘Rama’, the sixth form of devotion is
undertaking austerities to achieve self-control, getting rid of impurities of
Kama, Krodha, Lobha, Moha, Madha, Mathshcharya, Ahamkara and Mamakara, which is
prescribed for the ascetics, Rishis and Sages. The seventh form of devotion is
the superior one, perceiving the all-pervasive nature of mine, Oneness-in-all,
and whoever practices this type of devotion is beloved to me, they perceive me
in all animate and inanimate things in the Universe. The eighth form of
devotion is the ‘contentment’, absence of impurities, never find fault in
others. The ninth form of devotion is ‘Truthfulness’, practicing straightforwardness
in all dealings, with the intense faith and devotion in me. Oh! Virtuous lady,
whoever practices the nine types of devotion, whether it is human or animals, or any
other creatures, they are dear to me always. Oh! Devi, you have grown far
beyond the nine types of devotion, I am highly pleased with your devotion,
which is difficult to achieve for Yogis and Rishis who undertake extreme
penance and austerities, you have achieved the fruitfulness of your devotion
effortlessly, you have achieved the incomparable fruit of achievement by
witnessing me. Oh! Bhamini, do you know anything about Devi Janaki? If you came
to know about her, kindly tell me.” Sabari replied fervently “Oh! Prabho kindly proceeds to Pampa Lake, and meets Sugreevah, he will assist you to find
Devi Janaki. Oh! Lord of Raghu, you are the knower of all, you are omniscient,
yet you are asking me?” Shabari repeatedly prostrated at the lotus feet of
Rama, and narrated all that she was heard from Sage Mathanga, and eagerly
waited all her life to meet her beloved Lord Rama.
