Chapter – 103-  Sur -Vinaya – Pathrika – The absolute truth – Jeevathma/soul is Paramathma/supreme Bhramam – The soul is eternal bliss, pure, free from dualities, unblemished, and it has neither birth nor death

 

Sri Surdas Maharaj speaks “Oh! Prabho, I was drenched in Ahamkara/arrogance, Mamakara/ignorance, ego, lust, desire, pride, jealousy, and anger, the impurities of mind, and attachment to the infinite Shabdha/sound, Sparsha/touch, Rasa/passion, Roopa/appearance, Gandha/smell, pushed me into constant miseries and grief, same as the lion dive into the well to fight with its mirror image. Oh! Prabho, I have thoroughly understood the truth, the Universe and its diversified matters are perishable, and the happiness derived from the material and physical pleasures have fleeting nature, hence worldly matters cannot provide permanent bliss. The happiness derived out of material possession, wealth, richness, money, fame, children, wife, companion and relatives, etc. has fleeting nature, therefore it hurls the Jeeva in constant miseries and grief in the absence and dependence of the same, like the elephant that destroys its mirror image on the crystal thinking the image as its opponent. Oh! Prabho, you are all-pervasive supreme Bhramam resides as a soul in the Jeeva, you are absolute bliss, you are the protector of the Universe and its living and non-living things, and you are omnipresent, omnipotent, and omniscient. Oh! Prabho, I was drenched in your powerful Maya/illusion, and I was chasing after the material and physical pleasures of momentary nature, during this mad rush I have driven afar from the Sacchidhanandhaswaroopa Paramathma Parambhramam reside as a soul in me, hence I have caused self-destruction. Oh! Mind, if you want to experience the permanent bliss, abandon your interest in worldly matters/Samsara, it's nothing other than illusion, and it has fleeting nature like the dream gets disrupted immediately after the person is awake, therefore contemplates and meditates upon the supreme Bhramam reside as a soul in you.”
