Chapter – 135- Sur -Vinaya – Pathrika – ‘All the material
matters are perishable, and the soul is imperishable’
Sri Surdas Maharaj speaks “ Oh! Ignorant, you have lost the opportunity to achieve nearness to God/Bhagavathprapthi, even
after obtaining the rarest birth as a human. You have driven afar from the
lotus feet of Lord Sri Hari, you have forgotten the worship, practice of
devotion, austerities, Shamadhamadhi, non-violence, celibacy, truthfulness, and
purity of mind, due to your unwarranted attachment to material and physical
pleasures. Oh! Blind, Oh! Ignorant, Oh! Dull-minded, Oh! Insane, you have
forgotten the Jagathpathi/Lord of the Universe, who provided you an opportunity
to obtain human birth by investing the Beeja/sperm of your father into mother’s
womb, he protected you while you were struggling in the dark tiny space in the mother’s
womb, he nurtured you while you were lying upside down in mother’s womb covered
in the excreta of yourself infested with worms, thus he has protected you for
ten months while fighting in the mother’s womb, and he continued to protect you
even after falling upside down from the mother’s womb, alas! you have proven
selfish and forgot to sing in praise of that Lord. Oh! Ignorant, you have
decorated your body with the finest clothes and ornaments to show off the
world, you have drenched in lust, desire, jealousy, pride, ego, anger, Ahamkara,
and Mamakara, and wasted the precious life engaged in various sinful deed by
word, mind, and deed. Oh! Dull-mind, you have forgotten the absolute truth ‘All
the material matters are destructible’, you haven’t thought of the later years
of your age, or time to leave the world, you have planned several things to do
in your life, you have drenched in the toxic poison like lust for women, and
love for children and grandchildren, hence you have discarded the nectar-like
pure love and devotion at the lotus feet of Lord Sri Hari. Oh! Ignorant, you
have amassed wealth in immoral ways, you have taken so much effort to decorate
yourself and your homes, protect your possessions, wealth, money, richness,
fame, etc. Oh! Moorkh, you did not even think of the ‘Time’ which has a great
influence on the living and non-living things, the noose of Death,/Lord Yama is
always hanging above your head, one day you have to leave this world willingly
or unwillingly. The moment vital air/Prana/soul leaves the body, you will be
addressed as ‘Dead body/Prethashareera’, the people surrounded and the people who
loved you the most would recommend clearing the dead body immediately, and the son
whom you loved the most, and for whom you have left the practice the devotion of
Lord Sri Hari would set fire on the funeral pyre. Oh! Ignorant, at that moment your
brothers and relatives would say ‘It is the Karma/actions that play important
role in everyone’s life, and the Karma/performance of deeds by word, mind, and action
while living on the Earth would determine the life after the death.” Oh!
Mortals, Oh! Ignorant, do not waste your precious life, sincerely follow your
preceptor, and undertake austerities, and sing in praise of Lord Sri Hari.”
