Chapter – 109- Sur -Vinaya – Pathrika – Bhagavath Prapthi/Bhramanandham/eternal
bliss
Sri Surdas Maharaj speaks “Oh! Mortals, the
Veda, and scriptures emphasize that the Bhagavathprapthi/Bhramanandham/eternal
bliss is impossible to achieve without the pure love and devotion at the lotus
feet of Lord Sri Hari. Hence, leave your interest in worldly matters of
possession, wealth, richness, money, fame, children, wife, companion and
relatives, etc. and take shelter in the association of Santh, Mahathma, noble
souls, and engage yourself in Sri Ramanama Smaran, learn to practice the nine
kinds of devotion/Navadhabhakthi 1) Shravanam/listening to glorious legends of
Lord Sri Hari 2) Keerthanam/sing in praise of the glory of Lord 3)
Smaranam/remembering the Lord 4) Padhasevanam/worship of the idol 5) Archanam/worship
of the idol in a prescribed manner 6) Vandhanam/prostrate before the deity 7)
Dhasyam/serving the Lord and his devotees 8) Sakhyam/worship of Lord as a
friend 9) Athmanivedham/complete surrender at the lotus feet of the Lord. These
nine kinds of worship would remove the impurities of lust, desire, ego,
arrogance, ignorance, anger, pride, and jealousy. Oh! Mortals, the five sensory
organs /eyes, nose, ears, tongue, and skin, are the destroyer of pieties earned in
the several births, hence undertake the practice of austerities, vows, celibacy,
truthfulness, purity of mind, Shama, Dhama, Dhanam, Shaucham, Dhaya, Astheyam,
Arjjavam, etc. These Karma and Gnanendhriyas are the stealers of pieties like
wealth. The three of the Purusharththas Arththa/wealth, Dharma/righteousness,
and Kama/desire can provide welfare and happiness while living on the Earth, but cannot provide welfare afterlife, hence concentrate on the
Moksha/renunciation. Oh! Mortals, the impurities of the mind such as lust, desire,
ego, jealousy, pride, anger, arrogance, and ignorance, would shove you into the
utter illusion like the beautiful woman who takes complete control of the man. Oh!
Mortal, contemplate and meditate upon Lord Govinda, and get rid of sufferings
and grief of worldly existence and repeated births.”
