Chapter – 47 - Sur -Vinaya – Pathrika – The absolute
Truth/Paramarththa Thaththva
Sri Surdas Maharaj speaks “I feel perplexed
watching the mortals who abandon the practice of devotion of Lord Sri Hari, Oh!
Ignorant, you are leaving the Shyamasundhar Namaroopi fruit and chasing after
the worldly matters of possession, richness, fame, money, wealth, children,
wife, relatives, companion, etc. like the toxic fruit of destructible nature, is
nothing other than the Maya of the Lord. These are ignorant people who do not know
the amazing effects of Malayagiri Chandan/sandalwood of Mount Malaya; hence
they rush for ordinary ashes to apply to their bodies. These dull-minded wicked
people abandon the sacred lake Manasarovar which is the dwelling place of swans’
which are the symbol of purity, wisdom, intellect, and take bath in the
contaminated pool where the crows take pleasure. These ignorant remains
unnoticed to put off their own burning houses like the Thapathraya/three kinds
of grief of worldly existence/Adhidheivik, Adhyathmik, and Adhibhauthik, and run
to put off the fire in the burning garbage. These unfortunate people do not know that the rarest
birth as a human has achieved for the practice of devotion at the lotus feet of
Lord Sri Hari, and thereby get rid of grief of worldly existence and repeated
births, hence every second of their lives get wasted engaged in various sins.
Oh! Mortals, it is impossible to achieve the fruitfulness of life and serenity
of mind without leaving interest in worldly matters of perishable nature, and
interest in infinite Nama/names, Roopa/forms, Dhrishya/appearances, Shabdha/sounds,
Sparsha/touch, Rasa/passion, Gandha/smell, etc. otherwise, the Jeeva has to
continue to take several births in different forms of 64 lakhs and continue to
suffer the grief of worldly existence, in this way, the ignorant take several
births in different wombs and remain a joker before the death. Oh! Mortals, the
Universe, and its living and non-living things are mere illusions/Mrigathrishna, is an illusion-caused water source in the middle of the desert. The Universe and
its living and non-living things are impermanent, it has short-living nature, chasing
after the material world of fleeting nature is foolishness, hence leave your
interest in worldly matters of possession, richness, fame, wealth, money,
children, wife, relatives and companion, and practice sing in praise of Lord
Sri Hari in the association of Santh/saints, Mahathma and noble souls, thereby
achieve the fruitfulness of life and serenity of mind.”
Achambhau In Logani Kau Aavai | Chadai
Syama Nama Amritha Phala Maya Bisha Phala Bhavai || Nindhath Mooda Malaya Chandana Kau Rakha Anga Lapatavai | Manasarovar Chadi
Hamsa That Kaga Sarovar Nyahavai || Paga Thara Jaratha Na Janai Moorakh Ghar Thaji Dhoor Bhujjavai |
Chaurasau Lakh Joni Khanga Dhari Bhrami Bhrami Jamahi Hasavai || Mrigathrishna
Aachar Jagath Jala Tha Sanga Mana Lalachavai | Chahath Ju Surdasa Santhani Mili
Hari Jasa Kahe Na gavai ||
