Chapter
– 57 - Sur -Vinaya – Pathrika – Illusion
results in excessive interest in worldly matters
Sri
Surdas Maharaj speaks “Oh! Prabho, I have sold out myself to your powerful Maya/illusion,
I am feeling suffocated, like the cow tied to the noose, and completely restricted
to move. Oh! Prabho, Oh! Sripathi/consort of Goddess Sri Mahalakshmi, I haven’t
practiced devotion at your lotus feet, or not engaged in the worship of you, or
in singing in praise of you. Oh! Prabho, I have swollen with pride, arrogance,
lust, desire, anger, ego, jealousy, I have completely forgotten the purpose of
my birth, and chasing after the material pleasures. Oh! Prabho, due to my increased
interest in worldly matters, infinite Shabdha/sounds, Sparsha/touch,
Rasa/passion, Roopa/appearances, and Gandha/smells, I have become arrogant,
thereby committed various sins. Oh! Prabho, I am ignorant, I haven’t yet
satisfied with the pleasures in worldly matters, like the person who has taken
great pleasure in excessive sleep, due to my ignorance I have hurled myself
into the utter darkness of ignorance, forgotten the absolute truth/Paramaraththa
Thaththva, or did not realize the all-pervasive supreme Bhramam resides as a soul
in me. Oh! Prabho, I am blind by birth, I have only one eye/Gnanachakshu/eye of
wisdom, that too got manipulated by your powerful Maya.”
