Chapter – 138- Sur -Vinaya – Pathrika – The practice of
devotion to achieve the bliss personified Supreme Lord Sri Hari
Sri Surdas Maharaj speaks “Oh!
Bhramari/intellect that resembles a female honeybee, take shelter at the fully
blossomed lotus flower like the feet of Supreme Lord Sri Hari, sing in praise
of his glorious myths, contemplate and meditate upon him, there is no fear of
separation, grief, and sufferings, there won’t be any darkness of ignorance,
arrogance, and illusion. The lotus eyes of Lord Sri Hari resemble Surya/sun and
Chandhra/moon, he is free from impurities of the mind, unblemished, pure, free
from the sufferings and grief, and the dualities of happiness and grief, loss
and gain, honor and disgrace, etc. hence he is supreme bliss personified. The
illustrious Rishis, Sages, Narada, Veda, Sarada, Sanakadhis, Shukadhev,
Muniganas worship that supreme Lord Sri Hari meticulously in nine methods/Navadhabhakthi,
such as 1) Shravanam/listening to the sacred names and glorious myths of Lord
Sri Hari, 2) Keerthanam/singing in praise of him, 3) Archanam/worship of idols,
4) Sevanam/worship of preceptors and noble souls 5) Smaranam/remembrance of
Lord 6) Vandhanam/prostrate before the deity 7) Dhasyam/worship of Lord as
Master 8) Sakhyam/worship of Lord as a companion and 9)
Athmanivedhanam/complete surrender to Lord, with their pure intellect reverberates
at the lotus feet of Lord Hari, that resembles honey with Kesar/saffro3n. The lotus feet of Lord Shyamsundar is the
supreme abode where Lord Hara and Lord Bhrama frequently make visits, it is the
abode of all the sacred rivers. Oh! Bhramari/honeybee/intellect/mind take
shelter at the lotus feet of Lord Sri Hari that remains fresh and open always, it
is pure, unblemished, free from dualities and grief, it is the abode of supreme
bliss, hence do not chase after the worldly matters of fleeting nature that
resembles ordinary lotus flowers that blossom in the day and get withered in
the night.”
Bhringi Ri Bhaji Shyama Kamalapadha Jaha Na
Nisi Kau Thrasa | Jaha Bidhu Bhanu
Samana Yekarasa So Barija Sukha Rasa || Jaha Kinjalka Bhakthi Nava
Lacchana Kama Jjana Rasa Yek |
Nigama Sanaka Suka Naradha Saradha Munijana Bhringa Aneka || Siba Birinchi Khanjjan
Manaranjjana Cchin Cchin Karatha Prabesa | Akhila Kosha Thaha Bharyau Sukritha
Jala Pragatitha Syama Dhinesa || Suni Madhukari Bhrama Thaji Kumudhini Kau
Rajeevabar Ki Aasa | Suraja Prema Sindhu Mei Praphulitha Thaha Chali Karai
Nivasa ||
