Chapter -90 – Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Uththara Kanda – The significance of the practice of worship of Lord Sri Hari

 

Sage Kakabhusundi speaks “Oh! Khagapathi, 1) is it possible to achieve spiritual knowledge without a preceptor? It’s absolutely no, 2) is it possible to achieve spiritual knowledge without the sense of dispassion? It is absolutely no again, 3) Did Veda Purana Nigamagamashasthras describe happiness without the devotion at the lotus feet of Lord Sri Ramachandra? Definitely not,  4) Is it possible to achieve peace without contentment/satisfaction? Absolutely no,  5) will a ferry float without water? Definitely not. Oh! Khagapathi, the desires will not stop until you achieve contentment, as long as the desires crop up without a break, there will be no happiness, not even in dreams. 6) Is it possible to get rid of desires without the worship of Lord Rama? Absolutely no, 7) how can a tree grow without the soil? It is possible to achieve serenity of mind without spiritual knowledge? Is it possible to move without space? Is there any piety without the practice of devotion? Oh! Garuda, without penance there is no achievement in spiritual knowledge like there is no smell without the presence of earth, or no taste without water, no virtues without intellect, or no existence of animate and inanimate things without the five elements. In the same manner, the soul cannot achieve bliss without the knowledge of Oneness-in-all, like the sensation of touch cannot be experienced without the presence of air, likewise, the fruitfulness of life cannot be achieved without faith. Oh! Garuda, the fear of death, and transmigration/repeated births will not cease without the practice of worship of Lord Sri Hari.”
