Chapter – 69 -  Sur -Vinaya – Pathrika –The importance of  the recitation of the glorious legends and virtues of Lord Sri Hari

Sri Surdas Maharaj speaks “Oh! Mind, you have drenched in the worldly matters of possession, richness, money, wealth, children, fame, wife, relatives, companion, etc. you have taken great pleasure in the infinite Shabdha/sounds, Sparsha/touch, Rasa/passion, Roopa/appearances, and Gandha/smell, etc. even after knowing that these material and physical pleasures have fleeting nature. Oh! Mortals, you have been arrogant to everyone and proud of your clan, wealth, family, etc. eventually you have forgotten your existence, that is the supreme Lord Sri Hari who resides as a soul in you. Oh! Unfortunate, you have not sung in praise of Lord Sri Hari who removes the three kinds of grief of worldly existence, sins, and impurities of the Kali era. Oh! Ignorant one, you have taken great pleasure in the worldly matters of impermanent nature and pushed yourself into extreme grief and agony, like the parrot takes a nib on the bitter fruit and gets disappointed. Oh! Unfortunate, you have not performed the righteous deeds, you have not followed truthfulness or performed deeds for the welfare of the society, you haven’t taken pleasure in singing the glorious legends and virtues of supreme Lord Sri Hari, or did not even enter the place where the worship of Lord has been conducted. Oh! Ignorant, how could you please Lord Sri Hari? Or achieve his auspicious grace without singing in praise of him?”
