Chapter – 168- Sur -Vinaya – Pathrika – Human life is
precious as well as rarest to observe righteousness
Sri Surdas Maharaj speaks “Oh! Prabho, you
have done injustice to me, Oh! Prabho, you have given me the precious and rarest
birth as a human to observe righteousness, truthfulness, celibacy,
non-violence, kindness, compassion, self-control, Shama, Dhama, Sathyam, Dhaya,
Dhanam, Dhyanam, etc. I am a grave sinner, have wasted my whole life, and did
not use the important three phases of life childhood, adulthood, and
youthfulness to achieve the fruitfulness of life. Oh! Prabho, you protected me while
I was hanging upside down, suffering from extreme heat and cold in the dark
tiny space in my mother’s womb/Garbhavasa Dhukham. Oh! Prabho, you did not put
my delicate body burn in the Jadaragni/the fire that burns the food consumed,
you have given me beautiful limbs that resemble precious yellow metal. Oh!
Prabho, I have committed various sins chasing after the material and physical
pleasures of infinite sounds, appearance, touch, passion, and smell, I have
been chasing after worldly matters from the day of birth, hence finding no way
out of grief and suffering. Oh! Prabho, I am a sinner, but you are the protector
of distress and desolate people, you have promised to your devotees to protect
them from the grief and suffering, hence kindly protect those vows.”
Thuma Prabhu Mosau Bahuth Kari | Naradhehi
Dheeni Sumiran Kau Mo Papi Thei Kucch Na
Sari || Garba Basa Athi Thrasa Adhomukha Thaha Na Meri Sudhi Bisari | Pavaka Jadara Jarana Nahi
Dheenhau Kanchana Si Mama Dheha Kari || Jaga Mei Janami Papa Bahu Keenhe Aadhi
Anth Lau Sab Bigari | Sur Pathitha Thuma
Pathitha Udharana Apane Biradh Ki Laj Dhari ||
