Sur -Vinaya – Pathrika – Is Jeevathma grateful to Paramathma?
Sri Surdas Maharaj speaks “Oh! Jeeva, there
is no deity compassionate and kind as Lord Sri Hari, he showers abundance of
grace upon his ardent devotees to make them blissful as they have desires, he
fulfills all the desires of his passionate devotees. He quenches the thirst of
Jeeva by offering water, waves off hunger by providing meals, and showers
clothe to cover the nakedness. He is supreme Lord Sri Krishnachandra, Lord of
Universe, Lord of animate and inanimate things always concerned about the Jeeva
like the mother cow always think of her calves while grazing in the woods, and
rushes to its calves in the evening to be with them. He is
Paramaudhara/gracious Lord, merciful, he is Chathurachoodamani/wisdom
personified, he showers abundance of wealth to penniless, he protects the Jeeva
who are surrendered at his lotus feet, he spread hands before his passionate
devotees for worthless things, he can’t bear to watch his devotees in distress,
he rushes to protect his devotees in trouble. He is Bhakthavathsala, keeps up
his promises to his devotees, and he finds immense pleasure in keeping his
promise to his devotees. Oh! Jeeva, the supreme Lord Sri Krishnachandra performs
millions and millions of favors to Jeeva, are we grateful to him? Are we
expressing gratitude to his boundless mercy? There won’t be no one selfish
like us.”
Hari Sau Takur Aur Na Jana Kau | Jihi Jihi Bidhi Sevaka Sukha
Pavai Thihi Bidhi Rakhath Man Kau || Bhookhbhaye
Bhojana Ju Udhar Kau Thrisha Thoya Pata
Than Kau | Lagyo Phiratha Surabhi Jyo Suthasanga Auchat Guni Griha Bana Kau || Parama Udhara
Chathura Chinthamani Koti Kubera Nidhana Kau | Rakhatha Hai Janaki Parathijja
Hath Pasarath Kan Kau || Sankata Parai Thuratha Udi Dhavath Parama
Subhata Nija Pan Kau | Kotika
Karai Yek Nahi Manai Sur Maha Krithaghna Kau ||
