Chapter – 128- Sur -Vinaya – Pathrika – The arrogance and
ignorance drive the Jeeva into the mouth of painful death
Sri Surdas Maharaj speaks “Oh! Mortals, you
have wasted three important phases of life such as childhood, adulthood, and
youthful days indulging in worldly matters, when will you pick up the practice
of devotion at the lotus feet of Lord Sri Hari? The childhood days were spent
in various amusements, and the youthful days were engaged in lust, and pride, thereby committed various sins to achieve wealth, money, richness, and fame. Oh!
Ignorant, after all these, you haven’t been happy or contented in your life.
Oh! Fool, you haven’t utilized the wealth and richness earned in your entire
life from various sources either for charity or righteous deeds, or did not distribute
among the penniless, do you think all those wealth amassed in various means
would follow you after life on Earth? Oh! Ignorant, even the Kings had to leave
their Kingdom, luxuries, Bandhu and Bandhava/family, relatives and friends, and
leave the Earth. Oh! Fool, you have wasted precious life on the attachment to your wife, children, wealth, possessions, money, richness, fame, etc. which is merely
an illusion/Maya/unreal, like the dream. Oh! Ignorant, you have drenched in
lust, desire, ego, pride, jealousy, anger, Ahamkara, and Mamakara, that is
nothing other than the Maya/illusion of Mayapathi. Finally, the later years have
arrived, the sensory organs lost their capacity to hear, see, taste, or
touch, the limbs have become fragile, and not cooperating with the mind, the movement has become restricted, and the airways are blocked, what would you do at
this point of time? Your foolishness drove you afar from the lotus feet of
Lord Sri Hari to the mouth of painful death.”

Kab Karihau Janama Siranau | Balapan Khelathahi Khoyau Tharunayi Garbanau || Bahuth Prapancha Kiye
Maya Ke Thau Na Adhama Adhanau | Jathana Jathana Kari Maya Jori Lai Gayau Ranka Na Ranau || Sutha Bitha Banitha Preethi Lagayi
Joote Bharama Bhulanau| Lobha Moha Thau Chethyau Nahi Supanau Jyau Dahakanau |

Dhuni Dhuni Pachithanau || Surdasa Bhagavanth Bhajana Binu Jama Kai Hath
