Chapter – 174- Sur -Vinaya – Pathrika – The practice of
meditation for getting rid of the web of worldly existences
Sri Surdas Maharaj speaks “ Oh! Dheenadhayala/savior of
the distressed soul, Oh! Karunasagar/ocean of mercy, Oh! Prabho, the provider
of bliss, kindly do something to remove my grief and agony of worldly
existence, kindly do something so that this soul does not leave your lotus feet
not even for a second. Oh! Prabho, my senses are not in my control, I have
failed miserably while chasing the physical and material pleasures, my mind is
soaked in worldly matters, my mind is anxious and has always been driven afar
from your lotus feet which is the source of ultimate bliss, my mind is drenched
in lust, desire, ego, anger, pride, jealousy, Ahamkara, and Mamakara. Oh!
Prabho, I am restless during ing day and night, I have not taken up any
austerities, Japa/recitation of the sacred text, Thapa/meditation, Nidhidhyasa,
Dhyanam, Theerthayathra/visit to sacred places, vows, celibacy, etc., unfortunately, I have wasted the most precious phases of life such as childhood,
adulthood, and youthful state chasing after the worldly matters, at last, I have
reached the later years of age, my limbs are fragile and not co-operating with my
mind, my movements are restricted, the senses are not working like before, I
need someone to perform the daily tasks. Oh! Shyamasundhara, Oh! Nandhalala,
what shall I do at this moment? How do I please you? Oh! Lord of the Universe, you
are the creator, preserver, and destroyer of living and non-living things, you
are omnipotent, omnipresent, and omniscient, Oh! Kripanidhi, Oh! Dheenadhayalo,
the savior of distressed soul, you are the destroyer of the web of worldly
existence, Oh! Dhayanidhi, you are the only one capable to protect me from the
sufferings and grief of worldly existence. Oh! Prabho, I am a grave sinner, I
have no one to listen to my cries, kindly protect me.”
Soyi Kacchu Keejai Dheenadhayala! Jathau Jana Cchana Charana Na Cchadau
Karunasagar Bhaktharasala || Indhri Ajitha Budhdhi Bishayarath Man Ki Dhin Dhin Ulati Chal | Kama Krodha Madha Lobha
Mahabhaya Aha Nisi Natha Rahath Behal || Joga Jugathi Japa Thapa Theerath
Bratha In Mei Yekau Anka Na Bhal | Kaha Karau Kihi Bhanthi Rijjavau Hau Thum
Kau Sundhar Nandhalal || Suni Samaratha Sarabajj Kripanidhi Asarana Sarana
Harana Jagajala | Kripanidhan Surki Yaha Gathi Kasau Kahai Kripana Ihi Kala ||
