जो गति जोग बिराग जतन करि नहिं पावत मुनि ज्ञानी । सो गति देत गीध सबरी कहँ प्रभु न बहुत जिय जानी ॥
— Tulsidas
Meaning

The ultimate state of liberation that wise sages fail to attain even through rigorous yoga and renunciation, the Lord effortlessly bestowed upon the vulture (Jatayu) and Shabari without giving it a second thought.

Explanation

Great sages and ascetics spend lifetimes practicing deep meditation, renunciation, and difficult spiritual disciplines, yet they often struggle to attain ultimate liberation. But Lord Rama granted that very supreme state to the vulture Jatayu and the humble devotee Shabari with effortless grace, never once feeling that He had done something extraordinary. This beautiful verse reminds us that the Divine does not demand complicated rituals or vast scholarly knowledge. God looks only for a pure, innocent, and loving heart. Where there is true devotion and selfless surrender, divine grace flows naturally without any measure.
