Chapter – 160- Sur -Vinaya – Pathrika – The significance of
the worship of Lord Sri Hari
Sri Surdas Maharaj speaks “Oh! Prabho, I am
dull-minded, I have driven afar from your lotus feet while chasing after the
material and physical pleasures of impermanent nature, like the stray dog, wanders aimlessly, thus I have abandoned the most propitious lotus feet
of Lord Sri Hari which is the source of all the happiness and welfare. Oh!
Prabho, I was ignorant and attached to worldly matters and diversified sounds,
touch, smell, passion, and appearance that cannot bring permanent bliss, although
I was chasing after those insignificant matters of possession, richness, money,
fame, children, wife, companion, relatives, etc. with excessive greed. Oh!
Prabho, I have thoroughly understood that it is impossible to achieve
satisfaction or contentment from worldly matters. Oh! Prabho, I am a shameless
creature have repeatedly got insulted while acquiring the possession of worldly
matters. I did not find the serenity of mind, instead, I had to face disgrace
and humiliation. Oh! Prabho, you are supreme Bhramam, omnipresent, omniscient,
and omnipotent, you are flawless. Oh! Prabho, you are that Sacchidhanandha
Swaroopa Paramathma Parambhramam resides as a soul in the Jeeva, you are the Lord
of Universe and its living and non-living things, Oh! Prabho, I was foolish-minded and abandoned your lotus feet which is the source of all the happiness and auspiciousness,
and I was chasing after the material and physical pleasures of fleeting nature.”
