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.”
Yaha Sab Meriyau Ayi Kumathi | Apanau Hi
Abimana Dhosha Dhukha Pavath Hau Mei Athi || Jaisau Kehari Ajjaki Koopajala
Dhekhath Apani Prathi | Koodhi Paryau Kacchu Marama Na Janyau Bhayi Ayi Soyi
Gathi || Jyau Gaja Phatika Sila Mei Dhekhath Dhasanani Darathi Hathi | Jau Thu
Sur Sukhahi Chahath Hai Thau Kari Bishaya Birathi ||
