Chapter – 99- Sur -Vinaya – Pathrika – The objective of the human body is to get rid of the sufferings of worldly existence
Sri Surdas Maharaj speaks “Oh! Prabho, this
body was not put into use for the worship of Lord Sri Hari or devotees of
Lord Sri Hari or in the service of Santh, Mahathma, noble souls. Oh! Prabho, I
am shameless to accept that this body did not take pleasure in the association
of Santh, Mahathma, noble souls who constantly sing in praise of Lord Sri Hari,
it does not put into use for the performance of austerities, vows, celibacy, Shamadhamadhi,
etc. ironically, it was enthusiastically chasing after the physical as well as
material matters drenched in lust, desire, ego, pride, Ahamkara, Mamakara,
anger, and jealousy. Oh! Prabho, this body did not take pleasure in visiting the
sacred shrines and rivers, or enjoy the worship of Lord Sri Hari, or bow before
the presiding deity, or taking a dip in the holy Theertha. Oh! Mortals, the Jeeva
do not practice pure love and devotion at the lotus feet of Lord Sri Hari, or
strive to achieve to get rid of impurities of mind such as Kama, Krodha, Lobha,
Moha, Madha, Mathshcharya, Ahamkara, and Mamakara by observing austerities,
vows, celibacy, Japa, Thapa, Dhyanam, Dhaya, Sathyam, Astheyam, Ahimsa, Dhama,
Shama, Arjjvam, Swadhyaya, etc. it is impossible to achieve serenity of mind,
or get rid of constant sufferings and grief of worldly existence or repeated
births. The unfortunate ones drenched in worldly matters of possession, wealth,
richness, money, fame, children, wife, companion, relatives, etc., would
constantly hurl themselves into endless miseries and grief, continues to take
birth in different Yonis of animals, birds, reptiles, humans, etc. like a blind
person. The ignorant and unfortunate ones choose to consume the toxic poison
of worldly matters leaving the nectar-like devotion at the lotus feet of Lord
Sri Hari.”
Kaya Hari Kai Kama Na Aayi | Bhavabhakthi
Jaha Hari Jasa Suniyath Thaha Jath Alasayi || Lobhathura Hyau Kama Manoratha
Thaha Sunatha Udi Dhayi || Charanakamala Sundhar Jaha Hari Ke Kyauhu Na Jath Navayi | Jab Lagi Syama Anga Nahi Parasath Andhe Jyau Bharmayi || Surdas
Bhagavanth Bhajana Thaji Bishaya Parama Bisha Khayi ||
