Chapter – 191- Sur -Vinaya – Pathrika – Sharanagathi/The complete
surrender at the lotus feet of Lord Sri Hari to get rid of sins
Sri Surdas Maharaj speaks “Oh! Prabho, I am
the leader of distressed and desolate people, no one could compete with me in
committing sins by word, mind, and deed. Oh! Prabho, you have liberated the
twice-born/Bhramin Ajamila who uttered your sacred name ‘Narayana’ on his deathbed,
Oh! Prabho, kindly give me that assurance to me as well, so that once again my
faith would get cemented, so that I can call out for all those sinners to
recite your sacred name, thereby getting rid of the sufferings of worldly
existence. Oh! Prabho, if you promise to liberate me by uttering your sacred
names, I may achieve great enthusiasm by listening to your promise once again,
and I can proceed with the same fervor and bliss to others to encourage them to
recite your glorious names. Oh! Prabho, I would encourage the people to choose
the righteous path of ‘Sharanagathi’/complete surrender at your lotus feet, I
would prove myself as a great merchant who sells the sacred chant of Lord Sri
Hari, kindly promise me once, so that I would call out all those sinners who
were drenched in worldly matters of fleeting nature, chasing after material and
physical pleasures, excessively attached to wealth, possession, money, fame,
children, wife, companion, relatives, etc. without the knowledge of ‘Paramarththa
Thaththva’/The absolute truth/ all the material matters are impermanent, and
the soul is permanent/. Oh! Prabho, I would attract the assembly of sinners
who have been exhausted by the three kinds of grief/Thapathraya of worldly
existence, now I am alone at your doorsteps earnestly waiting for your
compassionate grace when I visit next time, I will bring more distressed and destitute
people. I would bring all those sinners who have committed sins by words,
deeds, and minds competing with each other, and throw them at your lotus feet, and
that would be my offering to you. Oh! Prabho, I have accumulated mountain-sized
sins with the expectation that you would forgive me, and liberate me from the
sufferings of worldly existence, Oh! Prabho kindly liberates the assembly of
sinners at the earliest.”
Hari Hau Sab Pathithani Ko Nayak | Ko Kari
Sakai Barabari Meri Aur Nahi Koau Layak || Jo Prabhu Ajamila Kau Dheenhau So Patau
Likhi Pau | Thau Biswas Hoyi Man Merau
Aurau Pathitha Bulau || Bachana Baha Lai
Chalau Gadi Dhai Pau Sukha Athi Bhari
| Yaha Marga Chaugunau Chalau Thau Poorau Vyaupari || Yaha Suni Jaha Thaha Thai
Simitai Ayi Hoyi Ika Daur | Ab Kei Thau
Aapun Lai Ayau Ber Bahur Ki Aur || Hoda Hodi Manahi Bhavathe Kiye Pap Bhari Pet
| The Sab Pathitha Paya Thara Darau Yahai Hamari Bhet || Bahuth Bharosau Agha
Keenhe Bhari Bhadau | Leejai Begi Niberi Thumthahi Sur Pathitha Kau Dadau ||
