Chapter
– 199- Sur -Vinaya – Pathrika –
Sri
Surdas Maharaj speaks “Oh! Prabho, I have worn out of worldly matters, I have
not been in the association of Santh, Mahathma, and noble souls, who constantly
engages in singing in praise of your sacred names and glorious legends. I have
been soaked in the infinite name, sound, passion, appearance, and smell in the
Universe that has fleeting nature, hence I constantly hurled myself into illusion,
ignorance, and arrogance, I had never thought of how to get rid of grief and
sufferings of worldly existence or cross the ocean of worldly existence and
repeated births. Oh! Prabho, I did not approach the preceptor or Santh,
Mahathma, noble souls to achieve fruitfulness of life, I was keep engaged in
the sins by words, mind, and action. While I was constantly chasing material
and physical pleasures, I forgot to behave like a human, I was chasing after to
satiate my senses day and night, I was aimlessly roaming in the deep waters of the
ocean of worldly existence, and created a deep vortex/downdraft below my feet,
by performing sins by word, mind, and action. Oh! Prabho, I was completely tied
up with the three attributes of Rajas, Tamas, and Sathvik, with no stairs. Oh!
Prabho, I have reached the later years of age, and the constant fear of aging,
illness, and death worsened my life, limbs have become fragile, not willing to cooperate
with the mind, the movements are too restricted, need someone to help the routines,
sense are lost its functioning, etc. Oh! Prabho, I have surrendered at your
lotus feet, kindly protect me.”
