Chapter - 49– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Uththara Kanda – The accumulated sins of several births get cleansed with the practice of pure love and devotion at the lotus feet of Lord Sri Ramachandra

 

Sage Vashishta speaks “Oh! Prabho, I believed that the supreme Bhramam which is the ultimate object can be achieved only through the Thapasya/penance, Yogic practices, fire sacrifices, observance of Shamadhamadhi/Sathyam, Dhaya, Shaucham, Astheyam, Arjjavam, Ahimsa, Dhanam, Dhamam, Shamam, Shuchi, celibacy, etc. Oh! Prabho, I have understood that the Japa/utterance of Vedic chants, Thapa/penance, Niyama/austerities, Joga/Yoga, strict observance of one’s own duties and religious rites, recitation of Veda and sacred scriptures, learning Nigama Agamashasthras, Thanthric texts, the performance of auspicious deeds, Gyana/wisdom, spiritual knowledge, Dhaya/kindness,  Dhama/self-control, dip in sacred rivers, the performance of deeds prescribed in Veda and scriptures, are practiced to achieve that supreme Bhramam, Oh! Prabho, I have thoroughly understood that the meritorious rewards of those above-mentioned deeds can be attained with the practice of pure love and devotion at your lotus feet. Oh! Prabho, certainly, all those practices provide the fruit of it, even though the dirt cannot be removed with dirt or cannot achieve butter by churning water, hence the accumulated sins of several births can be cleansed only with the pure love and devotion like water to cleanse the dirt of impurities of the mind. Oh! Lord of Raghu, whoever devoted to the lotus feet of the supreme Bhramam which is omniscient, omnipresent, omnipotent, unblemished, free from impurities, changeless, has neither birth nor death, pure, would get rid of impurities of lust, desire, anger, ego, jealousy, pride, etc.”
