Chapter – 218- Sur -Vinaya – Pathrika – All the living and
non-living things are bound by Karma and attributes of several births
Sri Surdas
Maharaj speaks “Oh! Prabho, Oh! Vrajaraj, Oh! Kripalu, I was describing myself for
so long, I was shackled by Karma and attributes/Rajasik, Thamasik, Swathik nature/attitudes
accumulated in the previous several births, hence I have committed several sins
by words, mind, and deed, like all the creatures on Earth. Oh! Prabho, you are
the savior of the distressed Jeeva, the Veda and scriptures highly praise your
endless glories, you are Pathithapavan, why do you leave your vow to your
devotees who have taken shelter at your lotus feet? Like the Jeeva did not leave
indulging in immoral deeds, why should you leave your virtue as a savior of the
distressed soul? Oh! Prabho, you are omnipresent, omnipotent, omniscient,
supreme Bhramam, you are pure, flawless, unblemished, and free from impurities.
You are the Sacchidhanandha Swaroopa Paramathma Parmbhramam reside as a soul in
the Jeeva, you are impartial and capable to liberate the soul from the
suffering and grief of worldly existence. Oh! Prabho, I have adopted a saffron
robe, adorned with rosary beads, and a sacred symbolic mark on the forehead to
wave off my hunger. Oh! Yadhunath, mother Earth is shaking terribly witnessing
the sins committed by me. Oh! Prabho, I have learned that you have incarnated
for the welfare of the Universe and its living and non-living things, in this
Kali era all those Thapasya and austerities have become too difficult to observe
due to impurities of mind/lust, desire, ego, anger, jealousy, and pride. Oh!
Prabho, kindly shower your compassionate grace upon me, and liberate me from
the sufferings and grief of worldly existence and repeated births.”
