Chapter – 77 - Sur -Vinaya – Pathrika – The impurities of the mind are arrogance, ignorance, ego, jealousy, pride, anger, lust, and desire
Sri Surdas Maharaj speaks “Oh! Prabho, finally
all I have left with the guilt of not utilizing the rarest birth as a human for
the achievement of Bhagavathprapthi/grace of the Lord. Oh! Prabho, I have taken great
pleasure in the worldly matters, I was chasing after material things and bodily
pleasure, I have performed all those deeds which I liked, the impurities of
mind such as lust, desire, ego, pride, and jealousy streamed out with the strong
current, eventually, I had left with no strength to cross the river of impurities.
The excessive interest in physical pleasure, and following the immoral ways of
life brought immense grief and agony, ultimately, the time to leave the Earth has
arrived, and the Lord of death/Yama spread his noose/aging, illnesses, fear of death, /
pushed me into extreme agony, like the fish out of the water. Oh! Mortal, an
elderly prostitute/Ganika was liberated from the sufferings of worldly
existence by constantly listening to the ‘Ramanama’ recited by a parrot that
was bought from the devotee of Lord Rama. The king of bird/Jatayu, attained
liberation/Paramapadham, by serving Lord Rama. Oh! Mortal, no one could protect
you other than Lord Sri Hari, from the sufferings and grief of worldly
existence, or remove the three kinds of grief/Thapathraya, 1) Adhidheivik –
grief caused by natural calamities, famine, drought, flood, earthquake, epidemic, etc. 2) Adhibhauthik – grief caused by attachment to possessions, fame, wealth,
richness, money, wife, children, companion, relatives, etc. that has fleeting
nature. 3) Adhyathmik – grief caused by aging, illnesses, fear of death,
separation from beloved ones, etc.”
