Chapter
– 197- Sur -Vinaya – Pathrika – The
impurities of mind lust, ego, desire, anger, jealousy, and pride are the
obstacles to attaining the fruitfulness of life
Sri Surdas Maharaj speaks “ Oh! Madhau, I am shameless, ignorant, and
dull-minded, I have wasted the precious birth as a human which is achieved
after the piousness of several births, I have been drenched in lust, desire,
ego, pride, jealousy, anger, Ahamkara, and Mamakara, chasing after the worldly
matters of possession, richness, wealth, money, fame, children, wife, companion
and relatives of momentary nature, therefore my excessive attachment to worldly
matters thrown me into repeated births. Oh! Prabho, all those infinite creatures
on Earth, water, and air, feeling pity on me, after all these, I have not
stopped chasing after the worldly matters, without knowing good and evil, I
have been kept following immoral deeds without fear or shame. Oh! Prabho, I
have realized that I have driven afar from your lotus feet, due to my excessive
lust, desire, ego, anger, jealousy, pride, Ahamkara, and Mamakara, I did not
practice devotion or worship of your lotus feet, austerities, vow, celibacy, Swadhyaya/study
of scriptures and Veda, self-control, non-violence, charity, kindness, etc. Oh!
Prabho, who will protect this stray dog like me? Kindly get this ugly creature
tied at your doorsteps, so that you won’t receive complaints from others.”
Madhau Ju Mohi Kahe Ki Laj | Janama Janama
Thyau Hi Bharmayau Abhimani Bekaj ||
Jala Thala Jeev Jeethe Jaga Jeevan
Nirakhi Dhukhitha Bhaye Dev! Guna Avaguna Ki Samujja Na Sanka Pari Ayi Yaha Tev
|| Ab Anakhayi Kahau Ghar Apanai Rakhai Bandhi Bichari | Sur Swana Ke Palanaharai
Aavathi Hai Nitha Gari ||
