Chapter
– 136- Sur -Vinaya – Pathrika – Nobleness
is the ultimate source of welfare and happiness
Sri
Surdas Maharaj speaks “Oh! Mind, you are like the female Chakravaha bird, very
dedicated, earnestly looking at the full moon and raining clouds, quenching its
thirst only from the water droplets of the Swathi star, Oh! Mind, take shelter
at the lotus feet of Lord Sri Hari resemble the beautiful river, you won’t feel
neglected or feel the separation from your companion. Oh! Mind, There won’t be an
illusion resembling the darkest hours of the night at the lotus feet of Lord
Sri Hari, you would be free from the Thapathraya/three kinds of grief,
sufferings of worldly existence,
all that you would experience supreme bliss. Oh! Mind, the lotus feet of Lord Sri
Hari are the safest asylum, resemble the beautiful lake/Sarovar, where the Sanakadhi
Rishis, illustrious Sages, and Rajahamsa/Lord Shankar/the royal swan, resemble
the aquatic animals contemplate and meditate in the supreme brilliance from the
toenails of Lord Sri Hari, it is the
marvelous asylum where the darkness like the impurities of mind/ignorance,
arrogance, lust, desire, anger, ego, jealousy, and pride/ has no place in it,
and the place always reverberates the sounds of Shruthi, sacred texts, and filled with the
rich fragrance. It is the beautiful Sarovar/lake, where the hidden gems and
pearls like Mukthi/liberation from worldly existence in abundance, Oh! Mind, do
not waste the precious birth as a human, take shelter in the beautiful lake like the lotus feet of Lord Sri Hari, and consume the Punyaroopi/piousness like the
nectar at heart’s content. Oh! Mind, the nearness to the supreme Lord is the single
source for piousness/righteousness/nobleness, and the nobleness
is the ultimate source of welfare and happiness. Oh! Wicked soul, what made
you drench in worldly matters of possession, richness, fame, wealth, money,
children, wife, companion, and relatives of fleeting nature? The infinite
matters of sounds, touch, passion, appearance, smell, etc. cannot bring eternal
bliss, the diversified matters of the Universe are illusion/unreal, and it is
perishable. Hence, abandon your interest in worldly matters, and stop chasing after
material and physical pleasure, take shelter at the lotus feet of Lord Sri Hari
who is bliss personified, whoever takes shelter at the lotus feet of Lord Sri
Hari would not experience the three kinds of grief of worldly existence 1)
grief of aging, illnesses, fear of death, separation from beloved ones/Adhyathmik
2) grief of the loss of possession, wealth, money, richness, fame, children,
wife, companion and relatives /Adhibhauthik 3) grief from natural calamities, epidemic,
drought, famine, flood, wood fire, earthquake etc../Adhidheivik.”
