In plain words
That is the essence of all the Purāṇas. That is Help ever, hurt never. If we keep these two in view, we shall have done every service to the world. It is not merely a matter of doing for your own home alone; we must regard the whole world as the form of God. We must learn the way to become worthy of the Prema of God. As for prayer, ‘O God! Protect me’: this is not prayer. We must experience the unbroken Prema of God; that is prayer. If that one thing is there, there will be no want of any kind. That is what Tyāgarāja said. ‘Rāmā! If I have the strength of Your grace alone, what can these nine planets do to me?’ he said. ‘What did You give eyes for?’ Tulasīdās lamented. ‘What use are eyes! Eyes that do not see Rāma, what use are they! What use are eyes! What use is the sight of the eyes! Eyes that do not see Rāma, what use are they!’ he lamented. ‘I am nothing but a cripple,’ he said. Hands are there, legs are there, eyes are there. Why does he call himself a cripple? Then Tulasīdās explained, ‘Hands are there, but I am unable to serve You; so I am maimed indeed! I am one without hands indeed! Eyes are there, but I am unable to see. So I am blind indeed! Ears are there, but I am unable to hear the music of the flute. So I am maimed indeed,’ he said. We must put every limb to good use for the pleasure of God, to experience the Ānanda of God. That is the great distinction that lies in humanness. Courtesy and good character lie in this very thing. That is why, with such Prema, Tyāgarāja called out thus, ‘Come, come to our home, come, Rāma’:
Come as far as our home, come as far as our home, O hero of the Raghus, gentle One, I bow to You. (Come …) Come, son of Daśaratha, take me as Yours; I cannot bear it. (Come …)
On the one hand he says, ‘I cannot be without You’. On the other hand he talks like an old friend, saying ‘Rārā’.
