Chapter – 157- Sur -Vinaya – Pathrika – The attachment to the
diversified matters of Universe causes grief and suffering
Sri Surdas Maharaj speaks “Oh! Prabho,
kindly liberate me from the grief of worldly existence, do not know how many wombs
I have been to, and how many sins I have accumulated, Oh! Kripasindhu, Oh!
Murui, kindly do not abandon me in this birth, I am already sunken in the grief
of worldly existence, I have drenched into the illusion like a bottomless ocean
of worldly existence, and floating along with the waves of infinite Shabda/sound,
Sparsha/touch, Rasa/passion, Roop/appearance and Gandha/smell, the impurities of
mind such as lust, desire, ego, jealousy, anger, pride, arrogance, and ignorance
while floating in the powerful water current causing me immense grief. The sensory
organs are like the fishes chasing after their prey, and causing terrible pain.
Oh! Prabho, I am exhausted carrying the overload of sins accumulated in the
past several births, the excessive physical and material desires do not let me
walk steadily. The impurities of mind such as Kama, Krodha, Loba, Moha, Madha,
Mathshcharya, and Ahamkara are the blaze that does not allow me to take a sigh
of relief. Oh! Prabho, the excessive attachment to children, grandchildren, and
wife does not allow me to look at the ferry of Namasmaran/remembrance of sacred
names of the Lord so that I can get rid of attachments to worldly matters and
board the safest ferry of Bhagavan Nama. Oh! Karunakandha, Oh! Prabho, I am completely
worn out sinking in the deep ocean of worldly existence, I am terribly upset
and tired of Thapathraya/three kinds of grief of worldly existence, Oh!
Shyamsundhar, kindly listen to my cries, protect me from the ocean of worldly
existence, and safely load me into the sacred land of Vraja.”
Ab Kai Natha! Mohi Udhari ! Magana Hau Bhava Ambunidhi Mei Kripasindhu
Murari || Neer Athi Gambeera Maya Lobha Lahari Tharanga | Liye
Jath Agadha Jala Kau Gahe Graha Ananga

Sira Bhar | Paga Na Itha Utha
Dharana Pavath Urajji Moha Sivar || Krodha Dhambha Gumana Thrishna Pavana Athi Jjakajjor | Nahim
Chithavan Dhetha Sutha Thiya Nama Nauka
Aur || Yakyau Beech Bihala Bihavala Sunau Karunamoola | Syama Bhuja Gahi Kadi Leejai Sur Braja Kai Koola ||
