Chapter
– 176- Sur -Vinaya – Pathrika – The
rarest birth as a human should be utilized for the practice of austerities
Sri
Surdas Maharajv speaks “ Oh~ Prabho, Oh!~ Dheenadhayala, Oh! Pathithapavana, I
have not utilized the rarest birth as a human, my mind was soaked in anger,
jealousy, pride, ego, lust and desire, hence I did not practice worship at your
lotus feet, or contemplate and meditate upon you. I have performed all those deeds
which were morally wrong/Nishidhdha Karma, I did not perform any rites that are
prescribed in sacred texts and Veda, either conducted rites without the knowledge
or not following the prescribed in Agamashasthras, I have not respected elders,
noble souls, Santh, Mahathma, and preceptors, I have been following improper
ways to attain prosperity, I did not follow any of the rites if so I have
performed rites to achieve material well-being which is sinful to disclose. I
have been frantically chasing for the physical and material pleasures, I was
trying hard to satiate my senses during that rush I had committed several sins
by word, deed, and mind. Oh! Prabho, I have not practiced Niyama, Yama,
austerities, Japa, Thapa, Nidhinyasa, vows, etc. I have not been in the
association of Santh, and Mahathma, I did not leave a single opportunity to insult
the weak and noble souls. Oh! Prabho, I am that grave sinner amongst the sinner,
after all these, I am not afraid to address myself as the devotee of Lord Sri
Hari. Oh! Prabho, you have liberated the elephant/Gajendra, and the Ganika/prostitute,
who weren’t serious sinners like me. Oh! Dheenadhayala, Oh! Pathithapavan, you
are the ocean of mercy and the protector of distressed souls, kindly protect
your vows to your devotees who have taken shelter at your lotus feet.”
