Chapter – 165- Sur -Vinaya – Pathrika – The attachment to
worldly matters causes rebirth
Sri Surdas Maharaj speaks “Oh! Prabho,
kindly do not count on my virtues and sins, uphold your honor, I have taken
shelter at your lotus feet, Oh! Sri Hari, kindly remove my fear of death. Oh!
Prabho, I haven’t practiced Yoga, Yajja, Japa, Thapa, Dhanam, Sathyam, Dhaya,
Ahimsa, Arjjavam, Dhyanam, Shama, Dhama, Astheyam, Arjjavam, etc. or I haven’t learned
a single syllabus of the sacred Veda. Oh! Prabho, I was wandering like a stray
dog chasing after the material and physical pleasures, I didn’t keep my
intellect pure for a second from the toxic poison of worldly matters. Oh!
Prabho, I have taken birth in several wombs due to my Karma/deeds, all that I
have earned while moving from one womb to another was Kama, Krodha, Lobha,
Moha, Madha, Mathshcharya, Ahamkara, and Mamakara, I was constantly chasing
after the deadly poison of worldly matters such as possession, wealth, money,
richness, fame, children, wife, companion, relatives, etc. that has momentary
life. Oh! Prabho, if Lord Bhrama makes an effort to write down my sins by using
the Kalpavruksha as a pen, the ocean as ink, and Earth as paper, it won’t be
enough. Oh! Dhayamaya/compassionate Lord, no deity is kind and
compassionate as you. Oh! Prabho, I am wretched, heartless, wicked, impure,
dull, ignorant, inauspicious, hence no one wants to look at me, I have no one
other than you. Oh! Prabho, you are omnipresent, all-pervasive supreme Bhramam,
endless, eternal, pure, unblemished, flawless. Oh! Prabho, you are Abinashi/indestructible,
Sukhaswaroopa/source of welfare and happiness, Sarvaroop/omnipresent,
Ananth/eternal, Dhayanidhi/compassionate. Oh! Prabho, I am unfortunate driven
afar from singing in praise of you, hence I have trapped myself in the toxic
poison of worldly matters. Oh! Sarvajja/omnipotent, omniscient, you are the protector
of distressed souls, Oh! Murari, kindly protect me from sinking in the ocean of
worldly existence, Oh! Kripanidhan, kindly provide your helping hand.”
Prabhu Mere Guna Avaguna Na Bicharyau |
Keejai Laj Sarana Aye Ki Rabi Sutha Thrasa Nivarau || JOga Jajja Japa Thapa
Nahi Keenhau Bedha Bimala Nahi Bhakhyau | Athi Rasa Lubdha Khana Jootani Jyau
Anatha Nahi Chith Rakhyau || Jihi Jihi Joni Phiryau Sankata Basa Thihi Thihi
Yahai Kamayau | Kama Krodha Madha Lobha
Grasitha Hyau Bishaya Parama Bisha Khayau || Jau Giripathi Masi Ghori Udhadhi
Mei Lai Suratharu Bidhi Hath | Mama Kritha Dhosha Likhai Basudha Bhari Thau Nahi Mithi Nath ||
Thumhi Samana Aur Nahi Dhoojai Kahi Bhajau Hau Dheena | Kami Kutila Kuchila
Kudharsana Aparadhi Mathiheena || Thuma Thai Akhila Aananth Dhayanidhi Abinasi
Sukharasi | Bhajana Prathapa Nahi Mei Janyau Paryau Moha Ki Phasi || Thuma
Sarvasha Sabai Bidhi Samaratha Asarana Sarana Murari | Moha Samudhara Sura
Boodath Hai Leejai Bhuja Pasari ||
