Chapter – 116- Sur -Vinaya – Pathrika – Destiny is irreversible,
the Karma of several births would disperse the fruit of good and evil
Sri Surdas Maharaj speaks “Oh! Mortals, the
life span is too short and uncertain, like the water bubbles, there is no specific
time to leave the vital air/Prana/soul from the body, it may leave the body
anytime, and the noose of death is a constant companion of all living and non-living things, hence
leave your interest in worldly matters of possession, richness, wealth, money,
fame, children, wife, companion, relatives, etc. abandon your lust, ego, desire,
anger, jealousy, pride, Ahamkara, and Mamakara, and contemplate and meditate
upon Lord Sri Govinda. Oh! Mortals, the body
is perishable, undergoes constant transformation, it becomes worthless in the
absence of vital air/Prana/soul in it, and even the dogs and crows won’t find taste
in it. If you do not believe in my words, read the scriptures and sacred texts
that repeatedly speak about the ‘Karma’, all the living and non-livings are
shackled by Karma, and the destiny is so powerful and unconquerable as well.
Oh! Mortals, destiny is pre-written, it is irreversible. The Karma of the
several births disperses the fruits of good and evil. Oh! Ignorant, this is not
your first birth, you have been into the various Yonis/wombs of birds, animals,
reptiles, humans, etc. Oh! Mortals, do
not wait too long to practice devotion at the lotus feet of Lord Sri Hari, the
later years of age are miserable, and the ten sensory organs will shut down their
functioning before that you take shelter at the lotus feet of Lord Sri Hari, that
would remove the sins of the present life, and the accumulated sins of several
births too.”

Lobha Lage Kala Gherai Aayi || Bari Mei
Jyau Udatha Budhbudh Lagi Bayi Bilayi | Yahai Than Gathi Janama Jootau Svana
Kaga Na Khayi || Karma Kagadh Banchi Dhekhau Jau Na Man Pathiyadha | Akhila
Lokani Bhataki Aayau Likhyau Meti Na Jayi || Surathi Ke Dhasa Dhwara Roodhe Jara Gherayau Ayi | Sur
Hari Ki Bhakthi Keenhau Janma Pathaka Jayi ||
