Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Sri Tulsidas Maharaj – Uththara Kanda – The unconquerable Maya of Mayapathi Lord Sri Ramachandra

 


Chapter - 71– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Uththara Kanda – The unconquerable Maya of Mayapathi Lord Sri Ramachandra

 

Sage Kakabhusundi speaks “ Oh! Garuda, is there any wise, intellectual, noble soul, ascetic, a man of virtues freed from greed? Lust? Desire?Pride? Or Anger? Is there anyone who has not been smitten by the lustful shaft-like glances of young women? Who is free from the Thrigunas/Swathik, Rajasik and Thamasik nature? Who is free from arrogance and pride? Who is not swollen with the pride of youthful days? Who is freed from worldly matters, and attachment to material things such as possession, wealth, money, richness, fame, children, wife, relatives, companion, etc.? Who is not swollen with excessive pride? Who is not shaken by the grief and distress? Who is not bitten by the serpent of attachment, care, love, lust, desire? Who is in this Universe freed from the powerful Maya/delusion of Maypathi? Again, who has the firmness of mind, whose body is not consumed by lust and desire, like the wood is eaten by the moth? Whose mind is free from the desire for a virtuous progeny, wealth, and fame? All these are contributed by the unconquerable Maya of Mayapathi, likewise, there are endless impurities of mind difficult to name. Lord Bhrama and Lord Shambhu were afraid of the delusion/Maya of Mayapathi, hence what would I say about the ordinary creatures like us?”
