Chapter – 133- Sur -Vinaya – Pathrika – Why do the Prana/vital air/soul leave the body painfully?
Sri Surdas Maharaj speaks “Oh! Mortals, the
rarest birth as humans have obtained after the pieties of several births, if it
was not utilized wisely to achieve the ultimate object, that is
Bhagavathprapthi /nearness to Lord, it would push you to the cycles of repeated
births in the different Yonis of birds, animals, reptiles, humans, etc. and
constantly undergo the sufferings and grief of worldly existence. Oh! Mortals,
you have failed to worship Lord Sri Govinda, you have been drenched in worldly
matters of infinite sounds, touch, passion, smell, appearances, and tastes,
which were constantly driven you into deep misery and grief, eventually hurled
you into repeated births in different wombs. Oh! Mortals, you have taken great
pleasure in material and physical well-being, killed several lives while chasing
physical and material pleasure, and spent most of your life nurturing and
decorating your body without the knowledge of ‘All the material matters are
perishable’. How do you get rid of the accumulated sins committed by word, mind,
and deed? You have not tired of committing sins due to desires, lust, greed,
anger, jealousy, pride, Ahamkara, and Mamakara. Oh! Mortal, you haven’t fruitfully
utilized the three important phases of life such as Balyavastha/childhood,
Kaumaravastha/adulthood, and Youthfuldays/Yuvavastha, finally, you have arrived
at the later years of age, and waiting for the time to depart from the world,
the noose of death is so close to your neck, hence you are experiencing extreme
difficulty in leaving the Prana/vital air.”
