Chapter – 75 - Sur -Vinaya – Pathrika – The human body represents city/Shareera & sinful
minister/mind - The absolute truth/Paramarththa Thaththva
Sri Surdas Maharaj speaks “Oh! Prabho, the entire
life has been wasted, drenched in Ahamkara/arrogance, Mamakara/Ignorance, ego,
jealousy, pride, anger, lust, and desire, after achieving the rarest birth as a human, living in the ‘city of body’, I have taken great pleasure in the worldly
matters. Alas! I haven’t utilized the precious birth as a human to achieve the ‘Paramapadham’/superior
state of bliss by undertaking Japa, Thapa, Pranayama, Pratyahara, Shama,
Dhama, Shaucham, Sathyam, Dhanam, Dhaya, Ahimsa, celibacy, etc. Oh! Prabho, I
have repeatedly failed to perform any kind of austerities or vows, I was
chasing after the bodily pleasures of fleeting nature and wasted my entire
life while chasing after the broken glass pieces I have lost the invaluable Bhagavan
Namaroopi/devotion/ wealth, sadly, whatever pious deeds have performed were mainly to
fulfill my desires. Oh! Prabho, the Universe and its infinite Shabdha/sound, Sparsha/touch,
Rasa/passion, Roopa/appearance, and Gandha/smell represent the huge city that has
no wise ruler in it, hence it was difficult to obtain self-control. I was
taking great pleasure in the diversified nature of the Universe, the
Nethraroopi/sight has taken immense pleasure in it, unfortunately, it has wedged
on the material matters of richness, wealth, money, possession, fame, children,
wife, companion, relatives, etc. Oh! Prabho, Bhogaprapthi/the attainment of welfare and
happiness is derived out of the pious deeds performed, alas! I haven’t performed
any righteous deeds in my life. Oh! Prabho, I have appointed the Kamaroopi/lust
and desire/ enemy as the guard of the ‘city of life’/body, finally, it has looted
all those precious wealth of pious deeds earned in the previous births /Sanchitha
Punya. Oh! Prabho, I have sincerely followed the advice of Paparoopi/sin/minister,
hence I have been through the path of immoral deeds, and it has destroyed
Dharmaroopi/righteousness/ beautiful wealth, eventually I have abandoned the nectar-like Charanodhaka/the water used to wash the feet of Lord Sri Hari, and started
taking great pleasure in spiritous drinks of toxic poison. Oh! Prabho, my anger, and pride have taken away all the good sense vested in me; it washed away all
the Sadhvichara/moralities and disciplines from my mind. I have let the wild
animal like my mind wander around freely, driving through the immoral pathways, and take great pleasure in Mayaroopi Samsara/ worldly matters of illusion.
Oh! Prabho, in the meantime, the emissary of Lord Yama/death/time/aging,
illnesses/ has taken complete control of me. Oh! Prabho, in this way, I have
been wandering/repeated births/ in the 84 Lakhs of Yonis/wombs of animals,
birds, humans, etc., and going through the sufferings and grief of worldly
existence.”
