Chapter
– 134- Sur -Vinaya – Pathrika – Increased
interest in worldly matters would push the soul into grief and suffering
Sri
Surdas Maharaj speaks “Oh! Mind, you are ignorant, you have wasted the precious
birth as a human, your interest in worldly matters of possession, fame,
richness, money, wealth, wife, children, relatives, and companion, and the
impurities of mind such as lust, desire, ego, jealousy, anger, pride, Ahamkara
and Mamakara drove you afar from the lotus feet of Lord Sri Hari. You haven’t taken
shelter at the lotus feet of Lord Shyamsundhar, instead, you have followed the life
of a parrot that lodged in attractive fruits of Semar tree, later got troubled
with the sticky substance on its beak, in this way you have drenched in the
worldly matters of infinite sound, touch, appearance, passion, smell, and taste.
You have taken great pleasure in the material and physical matters, and eventually
lost interest in all, like the parrot got attracted to the beautiful fruits of Semar,
later troubled with the sticky substance. Oh! Mind, you have committed several
sins by words, mind, and deed, while chasing material and physical pleasures, thus
you have lost peace, tranquility, welfare, and happiness. Oh! Mortals, be
cautious! Abandon your interest in worldly matters, that would hurl you into
extreme suffering and pain, and there is no use crying after committing mountain-sized
sins, therefore, sing in praise of Lord Sri Hari, take shelter at the lotus
feet of Sacchidhanandharoopa Paramathma Parambhramam, whoever driven afar from
the lotus feet of Lord Sri Hari had constantly troubled with the sufferings and grief of worldly
existence/Thapathraya.”
