Chapter – 95- Sur -Vinaya – Pathrika – The Universe and its
living and non-living things are bound by the ‘Time’ factor
Sri Surdas Maharaj speaks “Oh! Mortal, the
rarest birth as a human is difficult to attain, and never assume that it can be
achieved again and again, Oh! Ignorant, the precious birth as a human achieved after
several pieties of previous births, the ultimate truth is that the life span
getting reduced on each and every second, the way the cells and the human body
undergoes constant transformation, life is
unpredictable, the noose of death is hanging above the head incessantly. Oh!
Mortal, the trees cut down cannot be refixed, and the leaves worn out of the
tree cannot be fixed again, in the same manner, the Ayu/life span is getting
reduced from the day of birth and it cannot be reversed. All the living and
non-living things in the Universe are bound by the ‘time’ factor, the time wasted chasing
after the material and physical pleasures cannot be taken back, the time wasted
soaked in the infinite and diversified matters of Shabdha/sound, Sparsha/touch,
Rasa/passion, Roopa/appearance, and Gandha/smell has fleeting nature, it is
perishable and it cannot provide permanent bliss. The attachment to possession,
wealth, money, richness, fame, wife, children, companion, relatives, etc., is
an illusion, like the dreams that have momentary life, the dream gets disappeared
as soon as the person awakes. The arrogance, ignorance, lust, desire, ego,
pride, and jealousy would shovel the Jeeva into extreme darkness of hellish
tortures, in the form of constant sufferings and grief of worldly existence.
Oh! Jeeva, contemplate and meditate upon the Supreme Lord Sri Hari who resides
as a soul, and get rid of the Mrithyuroopi/fear of death and ocean of worldly
existence as well.”
