Chapter – 189- Sur -Vinaya – Pathrika – The impurities of
mind such as arrogance and ignorance put halt to the functioning of the intellect,
and wisdom
Sri Surdas Maharaj speaks “Oh! Hari, I am the King of distressed people, I have
been in association with wicked and deceitful people, I have engaged in criticizing
and complaining about the people around me, and I hurt them by word, mind, and
deed. The sounds of cribbing and gossips are the sounds of disgraceful music in
my kingdom of life. Thrishna/thirst is my city, my endless desires/Kama, are my
warriors, and the sense organs are the sword. Oh! Prabho, the desires/Kama, and
Krodha/anger are my two gatekeepers who keep giving me morally wrong ideas, my
pride is uncontrollable like an untamed elephant, and my greed is all visible
on my forehead resembling an umbrella. Oh! Prabho, I have been in the
association of wicked and deceitful, they are my army. Moha/desire and
Maya/illusion singing in praise of me like the royal musicians sing in praise
of their King, in this way, I have been parting my sins with others too. Oh!
Prabho, I have cemented the morally wrong ways of life, thus I have accumulated
mountain-sized sins.”
Hari
Hau Sab Pathithani Kau Raja | Nindha Para Mukha Poori Rahyau Jaga Yaha Nisan
Nith Baja || Thrishna Desaru Sumata Manoratha Indhri Khadaga Hamari || Manthri Kama Kumathi Dheebe
Kau Krodha Rahath Prathihari || Gaja Ahamkara Chadyau Dhiga Bijayi Lobha
Chathra Kari Seesa | Phauja Asath
Sangathi Ki Merau Yesau Hau Mei Eesa || Moha Maya Bandhi
Guna Gavath Magadha Dhosha Apar | Sur Pap Kau Gada Dhrida Keenhau
Muhakrama Layi Kivar ||
