Chapter – 46 -  Sur -Vinaya – Pathrika –The practice of devotion to achieve serenity of mind


Sri Surdas Maharaj speaks “Oh! Prabho, Oh! Sri Hari, kindly bless me with firm devotion at your lotus feet, whenever I take births in different Yonis and in the different Yugas. Oh! Prabho, kindly shower your compassionate grace upon me to get an opportunity to listen to your endless glories, like the Hiran/deer love to listen to the melodious music. Oh! Prabho, kindly provide me the firm devotion at your lotus feet, like the Chakthaka bird constantly cries for freshwater droplets from the Swathi star, that hesitate to drink water even from the sacred Manasarovar. Oh! Prabho, kindly blesses me that my eyes should yearn to envision your marvelous appearance, like the Chathaka bird that gets highly enthusiastic after witnessing the full moon. Oh! Prabho, kindly blesses that my hands should get the opportunity to worship your idol. Oh! Prabho, kindly bless my intellect should be freed from the impurities Ahamkara and Mamakara, and always contemplate upon your magnificent form, thereby achieving pure love and devotion at your lotus feet. Oh! Prabho, kindly showers intense love at your lotus feet, so that I sing in praise of your endless glories, and remain in a state of bliss always. Oh! Prabho kindly provides sincere devotion at your lotus feet by word, mind, and deed. Oh! Prabho, whoever surrendered at your lotus feet, engaged in singing the praise of your glories would remain free from the dualities, and consider happiness and sorrow, heaven and hell are the same, Oh! Prabho, kindly bless me the pure love and devotion at your lotus feet.”
