Sri Surdas Maharaj – Sri Sur – Vinaya – Pathrika – The ocean of worldly existence/Samsarasagar resembles bottomless dark well

 



Chapter – 92-  Sur -Vinaya – Pathrika – The ocean of worldly existence/Samsarasagar resembles a bottomless dark well

 

Sri Surdas Maharaj speaks “Oh! Ignorant, who is promising to you other than Lord Sri Hari? Who else is there to protect you from the troubles of Thapathraya/three kinds of grief – Adhidheivik – grief caused by natural calamities like flood, drought, famine, forest fire, earthquake, epidemic, etc. Adhibhauthik- grief caused by the attachment of possession, wealth, money, richness, fame, children, wife, companion and relatives, etc., and the loss of any of the above, Adhyathmik – grief caused by aging, illnesses, fear of death, and separation from beloved ones, etc. in the Samsara? Oh! Jeeva, the Samsar/worldly existence is a powerful stream of Kalaroopi/noose of death, and the illusion/Maya, the infinite Shabdha, Sparsha, Rasa, Roopa, Gandha,/ worldly matters, and impurities of mind such as lust, desire, ego, jealousy, pride, Ahamkara, and Mamakara are the powerful swirls in it, they are extremely dangerous. Oh! Ignorant, the fleeting natured wealth, possession, money, richness, fame, children, wife, companion, and relatives cannot follow you, it is definite that either they have to leave or you have to leave them, separation is inevitable in all walks of life like the people traveled in a ferry walk away into different directions, immediately after getting out of the ferry. Oh! Jeeva, the rarest birth of a human should be utilized for achieving the all-pervasive supreme Bhramam resides as a soul and the practice of devotion at the lotus feet of Lord Sri Hari. Oh! Ignorant, do not take pride in your life which is momentary, remember that the noose of death is hanging above your head incessantly. The worldly existence/Samsara, is nothing other than the Universe of diversified worldly matters that resembles a deep and dark well, the Jeeva drenched in the interest in infinite worldly matters, chasing after the material and physical pleasures hurls into the deep dark well and constantly undergo  the sufferings and grief of three kinds, in this way, they repeatedly lose the opportunity to cross the ocean of worldly existence/Bhavasagar, and throw themselves to the wombs of animals, birds, reptiles, humans, etc. and take several births, the unfortunate and ignorant Jeeva repeatedly listen to the learned but do not make an effort to bring into the practice of those wise words to get rid of Thapathraya and repeated cycles of birth.”


Hari Binu Apanau Ko Samsar? Maya Lobha Moha Hai Chade Kalanadhi Ki Dhara || Jyau Jana Sangathi Hothi Nav Mei Rahathi Na Parasau Par | Thaisau Dhana Dhara Sukha Sampathi Bicchuratha Lagai Na Bar || Manusha Janama Nama Narahari Kau Milai Na Barambar| Ihi Than Cchanabhangur Ke Karana Garbath Kaha Gavar || Jaisau Andhau Andhakoopa Mei Ganatha Na  Khar Panar | Thaisehi Sur Bahuth Upadhesau Suni Suni Go Kai Bar ||
