Chapter – 110- Sur -Vinaya – Pathrika – One and only the
significant trade to cross the ocean of worldly existence
Sri Surdas Maharaj speaks “Oh! Mind, listen
to me carefully, if you want to get rid of the sufferings and grief of worldly
existence, and repeated cycles of birth, take shelter at the lotus feet of Lord
Sri Hari and ‘Sri Ramanama’, Otherwise, you would hurl into the sixty-four
lakhs Yonis/womb of birds, animals, reptiles and humans, etc. and repeatedly undergo
Garbhavasadhukham/sufferings in the womb and constant grief of worldly
existence. Oh! Mind, abandon your interest in worldly matters and remain in the
association of Santh, Mahathma, noble souls who represent merchants of Sri
Ramanamaroopi gem, and buy the gems of Sri Ramanama in abundance, during this process,
you would get rid of Kama/lust, Krodha/anger, Lobha/greed, Moha/desire, Madha/pride,
Mathshcharya, Ahamkara, and Mamakara. Oh! Mind, while acquiring the precious Sriramanamaroopi
gems, keep yourself highly vigilant, not to get looted by the interest in
worldly matters/infinite Shabdha/sound, Sparsha/touch, Rasa/passion, Roopa/appearance,
Gandha/smell like thieves, and safely take Sriramanamaroopi Gem to the abode of
Lord Sri Hari. The Sri Ramanamaroopi gem would guide your transition after life
on Earth, it would safely cross the abodes of demi-gods, and you won’t find any
obstacles in crossing Vaitharani, the deities would receive you with great
honor and respectfully dispatch you to the abode of Lord Sri Hari. Oh! Mortals,
none of your wealth, possession, richness, fame, wife, children, companion,
relatives, etc. won’t follow you in an afterlife, therefore it is futile to get
attached to worldly matters of impermanent nature. Oh! Mortals, listen to me
carefully, abandon your interest in infinite Shabdha, Sparsha, Rasa, Roopa, and
Gandha of the Universe, it cannot provide permanent bliss, instead, it would
hurl you in constant grief and suffering in the absence of them, hence undertake
the practice of devotion and sing in praise of Lord Sri Hari, this is the only
one trade that could provide fruitfulness in your life.”
