Chapter – 173- Sur -Vinaya – Pathrika – The impurities of the
mind such as jealousy, ego, pride, anger, lust, and desire would throw the
Jeeva into constant grief and agony
Sri Surdas Maharaj speaks “Oh!
Brijanath/Lord of Vraja, what would be my fate? I have not practiced devotion
or worship of your lotus feet, I haven’t taken up austerities, vows, celibacy,
non-violence, truthfulness, self-control, Astheyam, Shama, Dhama, Dhanam,
Dhaya, Dhyanam, etc. I have not sung in praise of your glories or listened to
your glorious legends, I have not taken shelter at your lotus feet, I have driven afar from your meditation and contemplation while chasing after the worldly
matters of fleeting nature. Oh! Prabho, I have wasted my entire life, and the
three important phases of childhood, adulthood and youthful chasing after the
material and physical pleasures of infinite sound, appearance, touch, smell, and
passion of impermanent nature, I was drenched in lust, desire, ego, pride, jealousy,
Ahamkara and Mamakara that shoved me into constant grief and agony. Oh! Prabho,
kindly oversee my sins, and liberate me from the grief and sufferings of
worldly existence, Oh! Prabho, kindly allow me to consume your leftover
Prasadha/offerings, and constantly engage in the selfless service at your lotus
feet.”
Meri Kaun Gathi Brajanath? Bhajana
Bimukharu Sarana Nahi Phirath Bishayani Sath || Hau Pathitha Aparadha Poorana
Bharthyau Karima Bikar | Kama Krodha Aru Loba Chithavau Nath Thumahi Bisar ||
Uchitha Apani Kripa Karihau Thabai Thau Bani Jayi | Soyi Karahu
Jihi Charana Sevai Sur Jootani Khayi ||
