Chapter – 157- Sur -Vinaya – Pathrika – The absolute truth/Paramarththa Thaththva/ all the
material matters are impermanent and the soul is permanent
Sri Surdas Maharaj speaks “Oh! Madhav, my
mind is too obstinate, not willing to stop its chase for physical and material
pleasure, it is attached to the infinite and diversified matters of
Prakrithi/nature/Universe, that has fleeting nature, my body is aching, getting
old, and weak every second, alas! my mind is too stubborn causing grief by
chasing after the worldly matters of possession, richness, fame, money,
children, wife, companion, and relatives. Oh! Prabho, my mind is wandering into
ten directions day and night seeking material and physical pleasure, like the
parrot does not leave the Semar fruit and gets troubled with its gluey kind of
nature. Likewise, my mind is getting attached to the infinite sounds, touch,
passion, appearance, and smells that do not leave me without causing pain and
grief. Oh! Prabho, I have understood the absolute fact that I have been into different
wombs, and in each birth, I have made several relationships such as father,
mother, son, brother, etc., and naturally, I have to get separated from all
those relationships which cause immense grief. Oh! Prabho, after knowing the
Paramarththa Thaththva, I am still getting attached to those infinite matters
of the material world, like the owl does not accept the brightness of the Sun.
Oh! Prabho, I am dull-minded and impure, but the whole Universe knows about
your kindness and compassion. Oh! Prabho, you are the Lord of the Universe, who
is the source of happiness and welfare, like the sun removes the darkness. Oh!
Prabho, kindly fasten the bee-like wandering my mind on your lotus feet, and
shower your compassionate grace upon me so that while living in the material
world I will not forget your sacred names and absolute truth/Paramarththa
Thaththva/ all the material matters are impermanent and the soul is permanent.”
Madhau Ju Man Had Kadina Parayau |
Jadhdhyapi Bidhdhamana Sab Nirakhath Dhukha Sareera Bharyau || Bar Bar Nisi
Dhin Athi Aathura Phiratha Dhasau Dhisi Ghaye | Jyau Suka Semara Phool Bilokath
Jath Nahi Binu Khaye || Juga Juga Janama Marana Aru Bicchurana Sab Samujjatha Matha Bhesh | Jyau Dhinakarahi
Ulook Na Manath Pari Ayi Yaha Tev ||Hau Kucheela Mathiheena Sakala Bidhi Thuma
Kripalu Jaga Jan| Sur Madhupa Nisi
Kamala Kosha Basa Karau Kripa Dhina Man
