Chapter – 207- Sur -Vinaya – Pathrika –
Sri Surdas
Maharaj speaks “Oh! Madhav, Oh! Prabho, I am the precious jewel among the
distressed Jeeva/Pathitha Shiromani, each and every hair in my body is sinful,
hence I haven’t seen any sinner like me. Oh! Prabho, 1) the Brahmin Ajamila who
abandoned the Bhramanic way of life, aged parents, and family for a prostitute in
the forest, 2) the Ganika/prostitute who was left alone in the later years of
age was bought a parrot from the devotee of Lord Sri Hari, and mere listening
to the ‘Sri Ramanama’ got liberated from the grief of worldly existence, 3) the King of birds Jatayu, a sincere devotee
of Lord Sri Rama, fought with the demon King Ravana who abducted Devi Sita
while Rama and Lakshman were absent in the hermitage. Jatayu was brutally wounded while trying to
protect Devi Sita from the clutches of Ravan, and eventually left mortal coil in
the lap of Lord Sri Rama 4) the hunter who shot at the feet of Lord Krishna
while preparing to leave for the supreme abode, and 5) Nriga the King who got cursed to become lizard from the Bhramin, are minor sinners, they
fed on my leftover kind of sins, so they must be sincere to me, you can enquire
them about me. Oh! Prabho, I have committed
grave sins by words, mind, and deed, therefore I am superior to all those
sinners, but I haven’t achieved your grace, they all have got liberated before
my turn, hence I am ashamed to call myself a superior sinner because you have
considered them grave sinners and liberated them from the sufferings and grief,
in this way I have made a laughing stock of myself before them. Oh! Prabho, kindly remember
the declaration of Veda and the Scriptures, they highly praise you as Pathithta
Pavan/savior of the distressed Jeeva, so that I can get rid of the impurities
of mind such as lust, desire, ego, jealousy, anger, pride, Ahamkara and
Mamakara, and excessive attachment to possession, richness, wealth, money,
children, wife, relative, companion, etc. I can get rid of interest in worldly matters
of infinite name, sound, touch, passion, smell, and appearances, eventually, I
can attain the superior state of ‘Sharanagathi’/complete surrender. Oh! Prabho, If not,
kindly leave your title ‘Pathitha Pavan’ and reject my plea.”
Madhau Ju Hau Pathitha Siromani | Aur Na
Koyi Layak Dhekhau Sath Sath Agha Prathi Romani || Ajamila, Ganika Aru Byadh
Nriga The Sab Mere Chatiya | Anahu Jayi Sauha Dhai Poocheau Mei Kari Padayau Satiya || Yaha
Prasidhadha Sabahi Kau Sammath Badau Badayi Pavai | Yesau Ko Apane Takur Kau Ihi
Bidhi Mahath Ghatavai|| Nahak Mei Lajani Mariyath Hai Iha Ayi Sab Nasi | Yaha
Thau Katha Chalaigi Aagai Sab Pathithani Mei Hasi || Sur Sumarga Pheri Chalaige
Bedha Bachana Ur Dharau | Biradha
Chudayi Lehu Bali Apanau Ab Ihi Thai Hadh Parau ||
