Chapter - 117- Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Sri
Tulsidas Maharaj –Sage Kakabhusundi describes the Paramarththa Thaththva
Sage Kakabhusundi speaks “Oh! Garuda, no
one knows the secret ways of Lord Raghupathi, whoever comes to know by the
grace of Lord would never fall, a victim of Maya of Mayapathi, not even in their
dreams or never get soaked in the interest of worldly matters, such as wealth,
richness, fame, money, wife, children, companion and relatives, etc. Oh!
Garuda, listen to me, whoever listens or reads the disparities between wisdom
and Bhakti/devotion would develop perpetual devotion at the lotus feet of Lord
Sri Rama. Oh! Thatha, without the knowledge of the concept of Bhakti, it is
impossible to understand the Paramarththa Thaththva, that is ‘Eswara Amsa,
Jeeva Abinashi”/ Jeevathma is the essence of Paramathma. The supreme
Bhramam/Paramathma is eternal, pure, unblemished, changeless, free from
afflictions, has neither birth nor death, inseparable from Maya but free from
the persuasion of Maya. The Sacchidhananda Swaroopa Parmathma is indestructible
Purusha, inseparable from the destructible Prakrithi/Maya, who is a charmer influence all the animate and inanimate things in the Universe. The Jeeva under the influence of Maya, drenched in worldly matters dance to her
tunes, like the monkey to its Master, and a caged
parrot. Jeevathma is the minuscule particle of Paramathma which is supreme bliss, soaked in Maya of infinite
Shabdha/sound, Sparsha/touch, Rasa/taste, Roopa/appearance, Gandha/smell, remains ignorant, unless and until the Jeeva get rid
of the Maya it cannot unite with the Paramathma. The Vedas and scriptures described countless ways to remove the knot of the
Jeeva from the Maya, but everything gets harder due to the Jeeva's excessive ignorance, lust, desire, ego, jealousy, pride, anger and arrogance, hence the
unfortunate never came to know the inseparable bond of Jeevathma with the Parmathma or
never tries to unite with the Bhramam."
Sage Kakabhusundi continues "Oh! Khagapathi, the fortunate
Jeeva with the grace of Lord Sri Hari, resembles a cow, the pieties /Sathvik
nature resides in their hearts, it consumes on the green grass-like austerities, Japa, Thapa, Yoga, vows, observance of celibacy, Shama, Dhama, Sathyam,
Dhaya, Dhanam, Shaucham, Astheyam, Ahimsa, Yama, Niyama, Arjjavam, purity of
mind and body, contentment, etc. In this way it possesses innumerable virtues engages in
religious and spiritual practices recommended by Veda and Shastras, as a result, the milk like an abundance of meritorious rewards flows from its bosom. Once,
the cow gives birth to a calf, it would automatically get tied with the rope of
love with its calf, the self-control resembles the rope tied on the leg of cow
while milking, and the pot represents faith, the person who milks the cow symbolize
pure mind. Oh! Garuda, after receiving an abundance of milk from the cow
resemble righteousness, it should keep for boiling in the blazing fire of
desirelessness, the milk boiled should be kept for cooling, and the
process resembles the contentment and forbearance, after adding a little bit of curd
with the cooled milk. The curd is churned in a mud pot resemble cheerfulness,
with the help of chord and wooden stick resemble self-control truthfulness and pleasing nature, the end result will be the pure butter
resemble dispassion.”
