Chapter – 42– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Bala
Kanda – The marvelous comparison of the life of four brothers – The Manasarovar
of Sri Ramacharitha wave off the hunger and thirst like sufferings and grief of
Samsara
The unique relationship shared among the
four brothers, Rama, Lakshman, Bharatha, and Shathrughna, and their lovely
conversation, affection, kind, caring and loving nature, and the various
amusements and the childhood pastimes that took place between them are beyond
description, which represents the sweetness and the fragrances of the Mansarovar
of Sri Ramacharitha. I have an intense desire to consume the sweet nectar-like the
waters of Manasarovar which is uncontrollable, although I am a distressed and
fragile Jeeva does not deserve to have a look or touch of this crystal-clear
waters of Sri Ramacharitha like Manasarovar that has the miraculous nature to
wave off the hunger and thirst like the grief and sufferings of the Samsara,
the impurities of the mind, Ahamkara, and Mamakara. The sweet nectar-like the
waters of Manasarovar of Ramacharitha would remove all the sins of the Kali era,
weariness caused from the chase of material matters, bodily pleasures and
worldly interests, and enhance the pure and devotion at the lotus feet of Lord
Sri Ramachandra. It would protect the Jeeva from hurling into different Yonis
of animals, reptiles, birds, Devatha, Manushya, and demon, and thereby constantly
undergo the suffering and grief of Samsara. It would destroy the extreme
anguish, sufferings of poverty, fear of death and enrich the Jeeva with the
knowledge of ‘self’, the Sacchidhanandhaswaroopa Paramathma Parambhramam
resides as the soul which is free from afflictions, pure, changeless, unblemished,
eternal bliss has neither birth nor death/cannot be dried of wind, cannot be
burn into ashes by fire, cannot be submerged under the water, or cannot be hurt
with the weapons, and the Prakrithi/materials matters and attachment to infinite
Nama Roopa Dhrishya is destructible causes grief. Those who have not taken a
dip or tasted the nectar-like waters of Manasarovar in the Kali era are
unfortunate, drenched in Ahamkara, Mamakara, interest in the material matters
of richness, possession, wealth, money, fame, attachment to wife, children,
relatives and companions undergo extreme afflictions, ultimately keep hurling
into different Yonis and experience the grief and sufferings Sasmara again and
again, like the deer isolated from its herd ran after the reflection of water
in the desert, finally meets its miserable end.
