Chapter – 52 - Sur -Vinaya – Pathrika – The unconquerable
Maya/illusion of Mayapathi
Sri Surdas Maharaj speaks “Oh! Hari, who is
not fallen prey to your Maya/illusion? Who has won over your Maya? Lord Rama
crushed the pride of the King of the ocean and constructed a vast bridge across the
ocean/Sethubandhan. Devarishi Narada was enticed by your Maya, eventually, he lost his austerities and wisdom, and rushed to marry princess Vishwamohini in
the large assembly of the King. Lord Shankara was lured by the loveliness of Mohini,
one of the incarnations of Lord Sri Hari while churning the ocean for nectar.
Duryodhana had hundreds of brothers who possessed equivalent might to him,
with no moral grounds, all of them were killed in the epic battle of
Kurukshetra. Oh! Prabho, your Maya is unconquerable, she has created a garland
of gold and glass pieces, she has equally won over the Santh, Mahathma, noble
souls who undertake extreme austerities and vow, observe celibacy, purity, truthfulness,
non-violence, charity, kindness, Swadhyaya/reading spiritual texts and Vedas,
thereby achieved perfect control over senses, abandoned interest in worldly
matters, contemplate and meditate upon supreme Lord Sri Hari, roam all over the
Earth fearlessly in extreme bliss, as
well as the wicked and immoral people who are drenched in lust, desire, greed,
ego, pride, and jealousy, and constantly chases after material pleasure such as
possession, wealth, money, richness, fame, children, wife, companion, relatives, etc. in the same garland. Oh! Prabho, your Maya did not leave the illustrious,
noble souls and the wicked as well.”
Hari Thum Maya Ko Na Bigoyau ? Sau Jojana Marjadha Sindhu Ki Pal
Mei Rama Biloyau || Naradha Magana Bhaye Maya Mei Gnana Budhdhi Bhala Khoyau |
Sadi Puthra Aru Dhwadasa Kanya Kanda Lagaye Joyau || Sankar Kau Man Haryau
Kamini Seja Chadi Bhu Soyau | Charu Mohini Ayi Aandha Kiyau Thab Nakha Sikha
Thau Royau || Sau Bhaiyya Dhurjodhana Raja Pal Mei Garadha Samoyau | Surdasa Kanchana Aru Kanchahi Yekahi Dhaga Piroyau ||
