Chapter – 158- Sur -Vinaya – Pathrika –Sharanagathi
Sri Surdas Maharaj speaks “Oh! Mortals, you
have wasted a precious life as humans achieved after piousness of several
births, you have ruined life chasing after material and physical pleasures of
impermanent nature, thus you have driven afar from the lotus feet of Lord Sri
Hari, finally, you have lost to achieve the ultimate object, the supreme
Bhramam resides as the soul in the Jeeva. Oh! Mortals, your excessive attachment
to material matters, possession, richness, fame, money, children, wife, wealth,
companion, relatives, etc. has ruined the inner eyes of wisdom, and your
interest in infinite sounds, touch, passion, smell, and appearances destroyed
the outer eyes as well. At last, the remaining days of life are swollen with
grief, guilt, and suffering, the body has lost its charm and strength, the mind
has become weak, limbs are unwilling to listen to the mind overburdened with
the fear of death, illnesses, and grief of separation from the beloved ones.
Oh! Prabho, you have showered your compassionate grace on the people with ugly
looks/Kubdi/Kubja, sinner Ajamila, and several grave sinners too. Oh! Dhayalu
Shiromani/supremely gracious, who does not achieve your grace after surrendering
at your lotus feet? Who left unnoticed? After all these, then why did you leave
me unnoticed? Oh! Prabho, kindly liberate me from the bottomless ocean of
worldly existence which is nothing other than grief and suffering”
