Chapter – 187- Sur -Vinaya – Pathrika – The practice of
austerities and devotion to get rid of impurities of the mind
Sri Surdas Maharaj speaks “ Oh! Madhav,
there is no grave sinner like me on this Earth, I am impure by thoughts, words,
and deeds, I did not observe non-violence, truthfulness, or righteousness, I am
deceitful, wicked, and cruel, and take great pleasure in gossip, I hurt others
by words, deeds, and thought, I was chasing after physical and material matters
of impermanent nature, I have taken great pleasure in the worldly matters. Oh!
Prabho, I have consumed all those unwanted and intoxicated things which don’t give any pleasures or never get satisfied, on the other hand, it pushed me into
hellish torture. Oh! Prabho, I was chasing after women for fleeting pleasure,
and never got satisfied, but did not leave the chase for it. Oh! Prabho, I have
used harsh words, I have been cunning, I have never thought of the good of
others, I have been harsh by words, mind, and deed. Oh! Prabho, you have
liberated several devotees who have taken shelter at your lotus feet, but none
of them were wicked like me. Oh! Prabho, the hunter Guha and Ajamila haven’t committed
sins like me, their sins were small hollow sized, I am a grave sinner who committed
sins ocean-sized.”
Madhau Ju Mothau Aur Na Papi | Ghathak
Kutila Chabayi Kapati Mahakroor Samthapi || Lampat Dhoorth Pooth Dhamari Kau
Bishaya Jap Kau Japi | Macchi Ambaccha Apana Pan Kari Kabahu Na Manasa Ghapi ||
Kami Bibasa Kamini Ke Rasa Lobha Lalasa Thapi | Mana Krama Bachana Dhusaha Sabahini
Sau Katuka Bachana Aalapi || Jethika Adhama
Udhare Prabhu Thumha Thin Ki Gathi Mei Napi | Sagara Sur Bikar Bharyau Jala
Badhika Ajamila Bapi ||
