Chapter – 71 - Sur -Vinaya – Pathrika – The four significant phases in the human life & The three attributes of Thrigunamayi Maya
Sri Surdas Maharaj speaks “Oh! Prabho, all the
living things in the Universe keep wandering in the different yonis/wombs of
animals, birds, reptiles, humans, etc. for several thousands of Yuga/Kritha,
Thretha, Dwapara, and Kali Yuga. The Jeevas keep hurling themselves into the Samsara/
ocean of worldly existence, and repeated births for several Yugas. The Jeeva
drenched in Thrigunamayi Maya represents three attributes of Rajasik,
Thamasik, and Sathvik, these attributes pass through the three phases of Childhood, Adulthood, Youth,
and elderly year of the Jeeva, in this way, the Jeeva keep multiplies its
Karma/good and evil deeds, and get thrown into the Samsarachakara. The
impurities of the mind such as lust, desire, ego, jealousy, anger, and pride compel
the Jeeva to get attached to the worldly matters of possession, richness, wealth,
money, fame, children, wife, companion and relatives, etc., finally shove
themselves to the endless sufferings of worldly existence. The ignorant and
unfortunate keep dancing to the tune of the impurities of mind such as arrogance,
ignorance, desire, lust, ego, desire, anger, jealousy, unfortunately never get
over it. The dull-minded never make an effort to get rid of the impurities
of the mind by the practice of devotion, meditation, contemplation, and worship of Lord Sri Hari, austerities, Shamadhamadhis,
Swadhyaya, etc. The unfortunate Jeeva commits sin by word, deed, and mind, wanders recklessly
in eight Prahar/time, Sapthadhvipa, and ten directions, chasing after the
worldly matters of possession, fame, richness, and money, wealth, etc…like the child
engaged in a board game. The youthful days were spent in the sixteen types of
emotions, with the young lady of sixteen years, yearning to watch her beautiful
gestures, dreaming about spending days with her in the bed, ultimately
investing the Karma, Gnanendhriyas, Chiththa, Ahamkara, Prana, the couple
prepares for Garbhadhan Samskar/rite performed after the wedding, to perform ancestor’s
rite, further he is compelled to wander all over for amassing wealth, happiness,
fame, etc. leaving the righteous deeds/Dharma and performance of religious and
spiritual deed. Who is not worn out of time? All the living and non-living
things are bound by ‘Time’. The latter
years of age are extremely difficult for the unfortunate Jeeva who has not
practiced meditation, devotion, and worship of Lord Sri Hari. The limbs get
weaker in the old age, the Karma and Gnanendhriyas, Chiththa, Ahamkara, that
were drenched in the worldly matters, lust, greed, desire, ego, jealousy, and
pride, attached to the infinite Shabdha, Sparsha, Rasa, Roopa, and Gandha,
starts weakening, it would bring utter disappointments, the fear of death and
illnesses becomes a constant companion. The fortunate people invest their mind,
intellect, Karma and Gnanendhriyas, Prana, Ahamkara, in the austerities,
celibacy, self-control, meditation, Pranayama, contemplation, Swadhayaya,
Ahimsa, Astheya, Arjjavam, Shama, Dhama, Sathyam, Shaucham, etc. to achieve eight
types of supernatural powers, ultimately get rid of interest in worldly matters
and infinite Shabdha, Sparsha, Rasa, Roopa, Gandha. Oh! Mortals, the four significant
phases of human lives such as Balyavastha/ childhood, Kishoravastha/Adulthood, Yauvanavastha/youthful,
and the latter years of age are extremely important, these are unavoidable from
several Yugas. These important phases of human lives should be utilized for the
achievement of ‘Purusharththa’/Dharma, Arththa,
Kama, and Moksha. Oh! Mortals, it is impossible to achieve Purusharththa
without the interest in ‘Harinama’, the unfortunate Jeeva who is drenched in
worldly matters gets driven away from the Sacchidhanandha Swaroopa Paramathma
Parambhramam, takes several births in various Yonis/womb, in this way they
continue to keep rolling in the Samsarachakra.”
