Chapter – 117- Sur -Vinaya – Pathrika – The practice of
devotion to get rid of sufferings of worldly existence and repeated births
Sri Surdas Maharaj speaks “Oh! Mind, how
many times I have cautioned you to leave your pride, jealousy, anger, ego,
lust, desire, Ahamkara, and Mamakara, and take shelter at the lotus feet of Sri
Nandhanandhan Lord Sri Krishna. Oh! Mortals, all your possession, wealth,
money, richness, fame, wife, children, relatives, companion, etc. have
fleeting nature, like the dream get disrupted immediately after the person
awakes, all of these material matters would leave you one day or you have to
leave them, nothing could follow you at the death bed, other the devotion at
the lotus feet of Sri Nandhanandhan. Oh! Mortals, you have been hurling
yourself in the repeated cycles of death and birth for so long, repeatedly
shackled by Karma, you should be ashamed of it, listen to me carefully, you
have no way to release yourself from the grief and sufferings of worldly
existence/Thapathraya, and repeated
births, without the practice of devotion, singing in praise of Lord
Syamsundhar.”
Man Thosau Kithi Kahi Samujjayi |
Nandhanandhana Ke Charanakamala Bhaji Thaji Pakhanda Chathurayi || Sukha
Sampathi Dhara Sutha Hatha Gaya Chootai Sab Samudhayi | Chanabhangura Yaha
Sabai Syama Binu Anth Nahi Sanga Jayi || Janamath Marath Bahuth Juga Beethe
Ajahu Laja Na Ayi | Surdas Bhagavanth Bhajana
Binu Jaihai Janama Gavayi ||
