Chapter – 193- Sur -Vinaya – Pathrika –
Sri Surdas Maharaj speaks “Oh! Prabho, Oh!
Gusayi, there is no distressed or desolate soul like me, Oh! Prabho, I have practiced
with all my heart to get rid of the impurities of my mind such as lust, desire,
ego, pride, anger, and jealousy, Ahamkara and Mamakara, unfortunately, I did
not get control over my senses. Oh! Prabho, I have realized the ‘Paramarththa Thaththva’/the
absolute truth that I was chasing after the material and physical pleasures of
fleeting nature, which cannot provide permanent bliss, they have thrown me
into constant grief and agony. Oh! Prabho, it is ironic that I wanted to get
rid of grief from poverty, hence I have accumulated possessions, wealth,
richness, and money in abundance through immoral ways, and wasted precious birth
as a human, Alas! it pushed me into constant fear and anxiety, moreover, it
hurled me into repeated births and suffering of worldly existence. Oh! Probho,
I have been excessively attached to wealth, richness, possession, money,
children, wife, etc. I have been chasing after material and physical pleasures, and the interest in infinite matters of sound, passion, touch, smell, and appearance, caught me into constant trouble, like the fish getting into the trap by its attraction to
the worm on the hook, Alas! I did not notice the noose of death hanging above
my head. Oh! Prabho, I have wasted my precious life as a human chasing after impermanent
material matters/Khshanabhangura, like a person who dreamt of treasures
received in abundance, got out of sleep, and found empty-handed.
Oh! Prabho, Oh! Sri Giridharlal, I did not practice devotion, meditation,
contemplation, austerities, penance, vows, celibacy, truthfulness, non-violence,
etc. I have been chasing after the worldly matters of impermanent nature, I am
a grave sinner, I have no one to protect me. Oh! Prabho, I have already
surrendered at your lotus feet, kindly protect me.”
Mosau Pathitha Na Aur Gusayi | Avagun Mopai
Ajahu Na Chootath Bahuth Pacchyau Ab Thayi || Janama Janama Thai Hau Bhrami Aayau
Kapi Gunjja Ki Nayi | Parasath Seetha Jath Nahi Kyauhu Lai Lai Nikat Banayi ||
Mohyau Jayi Kanaka Kamini Rasa Mamatha Moha Badayi | Jihwa Swadh Meen Jyau Urayiau
Sooji Nahi Phadhayi || Sovath Mudhitha Bhayau Sapnai Mei Payi Nidhi Jo Parayi |
Jagi Parai Kacchu Hath Na Aayau Yau Jagaki Prabhuthayi || Seye Nahi Charana Giridhara
Ke Bahuth Kari Anyayi | Sur Pathitha
Kau Daur Kahau Nahi Rakhi Lehu Saranayi
