Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Sri Tulsidas Maharaj – Uththara Kanda – The curse of Sage Lomasha

 

Chapter - 112 - Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Sri Tulsidas Maharaj –The curse of Sage Lomasha

Sage Kakabhusundi speaks “Oh! Khagapathi, the illustrious Sage Lomasha who is a Bhramajjyani passionately described the highest of wisdom, the nature of absolute Bhramam, but I was absorbed in various thoughts, my mind was racing with various questions while the Sage Lomasha was describing the splendor of Nirgunaswaroopa Paramathma Parambhramam. “ 1)There won’t be anger without ignorance, hence the concept of ‘duality’ is absolute truth.  2) The Jeevathma created with the influence of Maya of Mayapathi cannot be similar to the Paramathma. The Jeeva is impure, drenched in dualities, constantly undergoes sufferings and grief of worldly existence, soaked in worldly matters are subject to change and destruction, 3) the Paramathma is attributeless, neither birth nor death, free from impurities, unblemished, changeless, eternal bliss. 4) The grief and sufferings of worldly existence cause almost the same experience to all the living beings, 5) Jeeva who has the possession of Parasmani never be unsatisfied, 6) anger and hatred always stir anxiety, 7) a lustful Jeeva cannot lead an innocent life, 8) the person afflicted with the curse of Bhramin can’t live in peace, 9) no action without the results, or no action performed without an attachment or desire for fruits even after achieving self-realization/Bhramajjyana.  10)The association of wicked and deceitful people will not bring goodness or spiritual wisdom. 11) A manipulative person cannot be happy, 12) an Athmajjyani/knower of absolute Bhramam, the concept of Oneness-in-all, won’t fall into the trap of repeated births. 13) The person who is hostile to Lord Sri Hari cannot achieve the serenity of mind, 14) a King cannot perform the duties and responsibilities of the Kingdom without the knowledge in statecraft, 15) the sins will not persist after reciting the exploits of Lord Sri Hari, 16) the pious deeds bring an abundance of meritorious rewards like the wicked deeds to bring the sins, ill fame, and grief.  17) There is no glorious deed as the devotion at the lotus feet of Lord Sri Hari which was highly spoken by the Rishis, Sages, Veda, and scriptures. 18) Is there any loss grievous than the absence of worship of Lord Srihari and singing in praise of him, and listening to his glorious legends, even after achieving the rarest birth as a human? 19) Is there any sin dangerous as spreading rumors, talking bad about a person in his absence, or doing something to destroy other people? 20) is there any virtue superior to compassion and kindness to living and non-living things? Oh! Garuda, in this way, I have questioned myself about various things and lost track of the subject Sage Lomasha was narrating to me. I was completely wedged into the topic of  Saguna/embodied form of worship of Lord Sri Hari, till I have heard the furious words from sage Lomasha “Oh! Fool, you have been so careless and inattentive, while I was imparting the lessons on the supreme Bhramam, you were so absorbed in your own world of thoughts and engaged in arguments.  You did not show any interest in the ultimate truth, and you haven’t shown respect to the supreme wisdom and seated like a crow before me. Oh! Fool, you have been so self-opinioned, therefore you will be born as a crow.” Oh! Garuda, I was not alarmed or lamented at the curse of Sage Lomasha, I reverentially bowed before the Sage.”
