Chapter
– 48 - Sur -Vinaya – Pathrika – The rarest
birth as human achieved after the pieties earned in several previous births
Sri
Surdas Maharaj speaks “Oh! Mortals, the rarest birth as a human has achieved after
several births of pieties, to practice devotion at the lotus feet of Lord Sri
Hari, the unfortunate gets attached to the destructible Prakrithi/ possession,
wealth, money, fame, richness, children, wife, companion, relatives, etc. and
drenched in lust, desire, anger, ego, jealousy, pride, etc. eventually hurl into
different Yonis/wombs and undergo sufferings and grief of worldly existence, in
this way constantly fall in the clutches of death. The Jeeva soaked in the
increased interest in worldly matters engages in various sins, eventually throw
themselves into the womb of dirty creatures like pelicans, vultures, etc., and waste
their lives, there is no difference between these dirty creatures and the
humans who are soaked in worldly matters, these creatures also have their own
family, children, house, etc. The people who consume meat take pleasure in
killing lives, hence they are no different from these dirty creatures like
pelicans and vultures, etc. Oh! Mortals, the Jeeva who do not practice the worship
of Lord Sri Hari, contemplate and meditate upon the Lord, or follow
austerities, disciplines, celibacy, self-control, non-violence, truthfulness,
charity, kindness, etc. are two-legged animals like owl, buffalo, they cannot
be considered as humans.”
